A PSA 10 currently sells for about £162.52, raw the card sits at £15.50 — 10.5× as much. Of 413 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £88.89 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 £7.70, across 189 fixed-price sales £9.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.47 and £12.32, with a median of £9.91. 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 £5.72. Offers well below £3.43 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 £15.10 (249), German £7.08 (10). English fetches about 113 % more.

Last Sold 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.
