A PSA 10 currently sells for about £185.59, raw the card sits at £7.93 — 23.4× as much. Of 658 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 59 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.37 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 101 auctions the median was £7.46, across 354 fixed-price sales £8.73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.05 and £10.53, with a median of £8.64. 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 £5.82. Offers well below £3.49 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: German £12.06 (16), English £8.32 (505). German fetches about 45 % 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.
