A PSA 10 currently sells for about £62.43, raw the card sits at £2.93 — 21,3× as much. Of 1.160 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.36 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 42 auctions the median was £2.55, across 200 fixed-price sales £3.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.41 and £3.79, with a median of £2.98. 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 £2.02. Offers well below £1.21 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 £6.05 (27), English £2.92 (266). German fetches about 108 % 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.
