A PSA 10 currently sells for about £104.42, raw the card sits at £8.13 — 12,8× as much. Of 540 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.45 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 136 auctions the median was £2.64, across 336 fixed-price sales £4.83. Fixed price therefore fetched about 83 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.98 and £6.26, with a median of £4.40. 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 £1.68. Offers well below £1.01 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: German £12.33 (32), English £4.11 (530). German fetches about 200 % 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.
