A PSA 10 currently sells for about £5,477, raw the card sits at £24.63 — 222,4× as much. Of 902 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £775.68 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 59 auctions the median was £7.87, across 162 fixed-price sales £14.21. Fixed price therefore fetched about 80 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.31 and £17.69, with a median of £11.18. 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 £4.50. Offers well below £2.70 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 £11.18 (188), German £7.08 (19). English fetches about 58 % 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.
