A PSA 10 currently sells for about £68.46, raw the card sits at £7.09 — 9,7× as much. Of 489 copies already graded, 69 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £54.99 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 24 auctions the median was £5.14, across 80 fixed-price sales £7.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.98 and £8.55, with a median of £7.27. 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 £4.53. Offers well below £2.72 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 £9.40 (10), English £6.71 (139). 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.
