A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,979, raw the card sits at £18.38 — 162.0× as much. Of 330 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £939.16 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 38 auctions the median was £7.53, across 90 fixed-price sales £12.41. Fixed price therefore fetched about 65 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.40 and £15.37, with a median of £9.94. 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 £2.52. Offers well below £1.51 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 £11.33 (280), French £9.73 (12), German £7.82 (23). English fetches about 45 % 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.
