A PSA 10 currently sells for about £112.52, raw the card sits at £12.24 — 9,2× as much. Of 2.117 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £62.69 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 120 auctions the median was £10.20, across 372 fixed-price sales £12.26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.25 and £14.56, with a median of £12.29. 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 £8.21. Offers well below £4.93 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: French £17.00 (16), Italian £16.17 (31), English £11.96 (553). French fetches about 60 % 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.
