A PSA 10 currently sells for about £369.71, raw the card sits at £6.77 — 54.6× as much. Of 1.068 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £90.65 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 82 auctions the median was £4.43, across 233 fixed-price sales £7.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 65 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.17 and £8.56, with a median of £6.68. 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 £2.53. Offers well below £1.52 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: French £8.37 (16), English £6.02 (353), German £3.56 (15). French fetches about 135 % more.

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.
