A PSA 10 currently sells for about £46.58, raw the card sits at £4.50 — 10,4× as much. Of 1.829 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £30.10 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 64 auctions the median was £3.72, across 286 fixed-price sales £4.47. 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 £3.72 and £5.31, with a median of £4.44. 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 £3.08. Offers well below £1.85 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 £5.54 (15), German £4.72 (43), English £4.46 (527). French fetches about 24 % 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.
