A PSA 10 currently sells for about £401.41, raw the card sits at £5.35 — 75.1× as much. Of 4.591 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £137.27 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 73 auctions the median was £3.35, across 86 fixed-price sales £4.54. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.26 and £6.31, with a median of £3.98. 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 £1.51. Offers well below £0.91 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 £8.06 (19), English £3.64 (138), German £2.85 (44). French fetches about 183 % 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.
