A PSA 10 currently sells for about £137.43, raw the card sits at £13.00 — 10,6× as much. Of 684 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £51.25 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 94 auctions the median was £8.06, across 258 fixed-price sales £9.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.58 and £12.38, with a median of £9.46. 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 £6.25. Offers well below £3.75 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 £16.83 (15), English £11.82 (370), German £8.34 (27). Italian fetches about 102 % 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.
