A PSA 10 currently sells for about £112.35, raw the card sits at £3.58 — 31.4× as much. Of 621 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £40.60 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 102 auctions the median was £2.56, across 424 fixed-price sales £3.16. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.36 and £3.69, with a median of £2.97. 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 £1.86. Offers well below £1.11 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 £3.37 (675), French £3.26 (13), German £3.20 (30). 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.
