A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,096, raw the card sits at £11.22 — 97,8× as much. Of 668 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £257.66 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 26 auctions the median was £5.11, across 108 fixed-price sales £6.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.25 and £8.83, with a median of £5.93. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around £3.10. Offers well below £1.86 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
