A PSA 10 currently sells for about £169.22, raw the card sits at £2.27 — 74,5× as much. Of 1.558 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £126.17 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 £0.75, across 52 fixed-price sales £1.82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 143 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.13 and £2.55, with a median of £1.70. 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 £0.85. Offers well below £0.51 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 £1.60 (100), German £1.56 (38). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
