A PSA 10 currently sells for about £39.86, raw the card sits at £4.09 — 9,7× as much. Of 829 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.47 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 30 auctions the median was £3.55, across 232 fixed-price sales £4.31. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.42 and £4.80, with a median of £3.93. 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 £2.89. Offers well below £1.73 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 £4.14 (16), English £3.78 (304). German fetches about 10 % 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.
