A PSA 10 currently sells for about £130.45, raw the card sits at £4.29 — 30,4× as much. Of 274 copies already graded, 88 % received a 10 and 11 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £118.86 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 120 auctions the median was £6.80, across 234 fixed-price sales £9.57. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.48 and £10.05, with a median of £7.83. 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 £4.02. Offers well below £2.41 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 £6.80 (20), English £4.20 (501). German fetches about 62 % 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.
