A PSA 10 currently sells for about £161.06, raw the card sits at £31.59 — 5,1× as much. Of 4.415 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.46 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 148 auctions the median was £30.57, across 449 fixed-price sales £35.14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £28.55 and £39.64, with a median of £33.55. 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 £22.41. Offers well below £13.45 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 £42.46 (14), Italian £41.02 (47), English £31.67 (521). French fetches about 78 % 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.
