A PSA 10 currently sells for about £164.56, raw the card sits at £8.49 — 19,4× as much. Of 444 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £93.91 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 28 auctions the median was £5.55, across 102 fixed-price sales £8.82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 59 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.68 and £10.61, with a median of £8.58. 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 £4.57. Offers well below £2.74 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 £10.54 (19), English £8.21 (131). Italian fetches about 28 % 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.
