A PSA 10 currently sells for about £833.32, raw the card sits at £14.97 — 55,7× as much. Of 356 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £615.76 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 42 auctions the median was £6.38, across 170 fixed-price sales £10.60. Fixed price therefore fetched about 66 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.85 and £11.86, with a median of £8.89. 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 £5.14. Offers well below £3.08 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 £11.44 (337), German £4.68 (32). English fetches about 145 % 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.
