A PSA 10 currently sells for about £182.41, raw the card sits at £8.89 — 20,5× as much. Of 138 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £129.75 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 7 auctions the median was £1.15, across 30 fixed-price sales £1.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.12 and £1.57, with a median of £1.30. 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 £0.75. Offers well below £0.45 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
