A PSA 10 currently sells for about £297.23, raw the card sits at £1.55 — 192,1× as much. Of 731 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £69.44 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 19 auctions the median was £0.85, across 83 fixed-price sales £1.51. Fixed price therefore fetched about 77 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £0.94 and £2.00, with a median of £1.49. 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 £0.79. Offers well below £0.47 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: French £2.13 (10), German £1.61 (50), English £1.42 (67). French fetches about 50 % 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.
