A PSA 10 currently sells for about £105.37, raw the card sits at £3.63 — 29,0× as much. Of 654 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £48.16 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 63 auctions the median was £2.55, across 188 fixed-price sales £4.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 63 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.19 and £5.14, with a median of £3.27. 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 £1.46. Offers well below £0.88 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 £2.84 (69), English £2.56 (300). German fetches about 11 % 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.
