A PSA 10 currently sells for about £122.55, raw the card sits at £5.99 — 20,5× as much. Of 568 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £62.49 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 126 auctions the median was £3.65, across 423 fixed-price sales £4.46. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.98 and £6.97, with a median of £4.25. 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 £1.12 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: Italian £6.05 (17), French £4.17 (12), German £4.16 (51). Italian fetches about 62 % 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.
