A PSA 10 currently sells for about £11,758, raw the card sits at £146.61 — 80,2× as much. Of 447 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 16 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,174 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 7 auctions the median was £42.95, across 12 fixed-price sales £70.72. 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 £34.00 and £72.20, with a median of £49.69. 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 £26.14. Offers well below £15.68 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
