A PSA 10 currently sells for about £16,618, raw the card sits at £73.81 — 225.1× as much. Of 5.089 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £607.82 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 154 auctions the median was £67.49, across 176 fixed-price sales £79.68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £48.30 and £77.97, with a median of £59.50. 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 £33.91. Offers well below £20.34 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: German £77.98 (15), English £65.10 (188). German fetches about 20 % more.

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.
