A PSA 10 currently sells for about £12.77, raw the card sits at £4.57 — 2,8× as much. Of 357 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £13.18 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 154 auctions the median was £2.57, across 547 fixed-price sales £4.37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 70 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.38 and £5.05, with a median of £4.04. 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 £2.39. Offers well below £1.43 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 £3.81 (55), English £3.75 (807), French £2.12 (12). German fetches about 80 % 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.
