A PSA 10 currently sells for about £57.02, raw the card sits at £16.90 — 3.4× as much. Of 2.048 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.81 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 41 auctions the median was £15.49, across 207 fixed-price sales £18.30. 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 £15.34 and £20.09, with a median of £17.38. 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 £14.18. Offers well below £8.51 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 £19.26 (21), English £17.79 (258). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
