A PSA 10 currently sells for about £137.68, raw the card sits at £12.43 — 11,1× as much. Of 684 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £51.34 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 93 auctions the median was £8.25, across 259 fixed-price sales £9.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.59 and £12.40, 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 £6.28. Offers well below £3.77 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 £16.85 (15), English £11.65 (370), German £8.50 (29). Italian fetches about 98 % 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.
