A PSA 10 currently sells for about £71.20, raw the card sits at £1.50 — 47,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £71.20 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.

Across 17 auctions the median was £1.28, across 55 fixed-price sales £1.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.18 and £2.19, with a median of £1.56. 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 £0.78. 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: Japanese £1.91 (17), English £1.49 (80). Japanese fetches about 29 % 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.
