A PSA 10 currently sells for about £261.20, raw the card sits at £10.43 — 25.0× as much. Of 396 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £152.07 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 30 auctions the median was £5.53, across 96 fixed-price sales £9.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 66 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.89 and £10.60, with a median of £8.73. 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 £4.60. Offers well below £2.76 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: English £10.18 (126), Italian £8.97 (19). English fetches about 14 % 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.
