A PSA 10 currently sells for about £70.01, raw the card sits at £8.95 — 7,8× as much. Of 708 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.42 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 47 auctions the median was £6.88, across 151 fixed-price sales £8.20. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.68 and £9.35, with a median of £8.05. 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 £5.17. Offers well below £3.10 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 £8.84 (312), German £6.80 (25). English fetches about 30 % 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.
