A PSA 10 currently sells for about £129.00, raw the card sits at £3.04 — 42.5× as much. Of 491 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £56.28 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 123 auctions the median was £2.18, across 309 fixed-price sales £3.48. Fixed price therefore fetched about 60 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.18 and £4.76, with a median of £2.97. 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 £1.14. Offers well below £0.68 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 £3.01 (388), German £2.97 (29). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
