A PSA 10 currently sells for about £39.00, raw the card sits at £1.63 — 24.0× as much. Of 933 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £27.69 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 £0.91, across 179 fixed-price sales £1.55. Fixed price therefore fetched about 70 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.10 and £1.79, with a median of £1.47. 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 £0.74. Offers well below £0.44 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 £1.42 (299), German £0.84 (20). English fetches about 69 % 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.
