A PSA 10 currently sells for about £90.37, raw the card sits at £5.86 — 15,4× as much. Of 634 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £44.80 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 40 auctions the median was £3.78, across 134 fixed-price sales £5.31. 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 £4.08 and £6.19, with a median of £5.15. 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 £3.16. Offers well below £1.90 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 £5.78 (18), English £5.20 (194). German fetches about 11 % 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.
