A PSA 10 currently sells for about £116.81, raw the card sits at £4.24 — 27,5× as much. Of 756 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £44.76 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 24 auctions the median was £3.47, across 127 fixed-price sales £4.44. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.35 and £4.89, with a median of £3.95. 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 £2.22. Offers well below £1.33 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 £4.54 (18), English £3.67 (210), German £3.26 (11). Italian fetches about 39 % 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.
