A PSA 10 currently sells for about £37.10, raw the card sits at £1.68 — 22,1× as much. Of 497 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £24.04 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 29 auctions the median was £0.85, across 75 fixed-price sales £1.78. Fixed price therefore fetched about 109 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £0.89 and £1.97, with a median of £1.59. 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 £0.78. Offers well below £0.47 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 £1.80 (18), English £1.60 (153). German fetches about 13 % 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.
