A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,993, raw the card sits at £55.20 — 54,2× as much. Of 401 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £889.97 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 £7.57, across 90 fixed-price sales £12.47. 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 £4.42 and £15.44, with a median of £9.98. 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 £2.53. Offers well below £1.52 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 £11.39 (280), French £9.78 (12), German £7.86 (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.
