A PSA 10 currently sells for about £76.68, raw the card sits at £9.69 — 7,9× as much. Of 1.567 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.72 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 129 auctions the median was £6.88, across 369 fixed-price sales £8.85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.98 and £9.88, with a median of £8.48. 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 £5.48. Offers well below £3.29 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 £12.75 (16), English £7.86 (623), German £6.39 (41). French fetches about 99 % 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.
