A PSA 10 currently sells for about £138.45, raw the card sits at £1.39 — 99,3× as much. Of 2.276 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £75.95 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 10 auctions the median was £1.45, across 51 fixed-price sales £1.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.36 and £2.63, with a median of £1.77. 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 £0.85. Offers well below £0.51 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 £1.96 (32), German £1.69 (12), French £1.45 (13). Italian fetches about 40 % 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.
