A PSA 10 currently sells for about £152.61, raw the card sits at £17.40 — 8.8× as much. Of 443 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £61.01 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 61 auctions the median was £11.25, across 249 fixed-price sales £14.28. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £11.30 and £15.90, with a median of £13.85. 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 £9.72. Offers well below £5.83 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: English £14.79 (383), German £14.21 (15). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
