A PSA 10 currently sells for about £34,556, raw the card sits at £56.05 — 616,5× as much. Of 273 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £2,991 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 46 auctions the median was £15.25, across 150 fixed-price sales £24.93. Fixed price therefore fetched about 63 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.64 and £28.92, with a median of £16.15. 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 £5.85. Offers well below £3.51 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: English £18.57 (454), French £17.09 (17), German £6.65 (17). English fetches about 179 % 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.
