A PSA 10 currently sells for about £157.93, raw the card sits at £22.67 — 7.0× as much. Of 676 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £53.75 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 67 auctions the median was £26.10, across 172 fixed-price sales £29.14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £22.75 and £32.63, with a median of £28.24. 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 £15.23. Offers well below £9.14 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 £22.67 (262), German £22.36 (16). 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.
