A PSA 10 currently sells for about £178.57, raw the card sits at £1.77 — 101,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £178.57 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.

Across 24 auctions the median was £0.99, across 78 fixed-price sales £2.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 115 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.28 and £2.65, with a median of £1.68. 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 £0.85. Offers well below £0.51 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 £1.64 (35), English £1.46 (208). German fetches about 12 % 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.
