A PSA 10 currently sells for about £56.30, raw the card sits at £7.42 — 7.6× as much. Of 892 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 55 % 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 49 auctions the median was £5.82, across 175 fixed-price sales £7.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.04 and £8.15, with a median of £7.06. 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 £5.06. Offers well below £3.04 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 £7.29 (309), German £5.84 (33). English fetches about 25 % 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.
