A PSA 10 currently sells for about £212.48, raw the card sits at £23.70 — 9,0× as much. Of 771 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 61 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £81.55 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 72 auctions the median was £19.75, across 213 fixed-price sales £22.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.79 and £25.99, with a median of £22.22. 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 £13.61. Offers well below £8.16 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 £23.59 (328), German £20.41 (25), French £12.03 (14). English fetches about 96 % 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.
