A PSA 10 currently sells for about £15,758, raw the card sits at £47.41 — 332,4× as much. Of 436 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,108 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 39 auctions the median was £15.01, across 85 fixed-price sales £21.46. Fixed price therefore fetched about 43 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.10 and £22.13, with a median of £14.91. 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 £6.25. Offers well below £3.75 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 £23.61 (142), German £7.88 (15). English 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.
