A PSA 10 currently sells for about £102.96, raw the card sits at £13.78 — 7,5× as much. Of 238 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.87 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 34 auctions the median was £7.66, across 102 fixed-price sales £11.70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.38 and £13.33, with a median of £11.28. 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 £7.29. Offers well below £4.37 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 £16.96 (11), English £13.09 (164). German fetches about 30 % 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.
