A PSA 10 currently sells for about £127.03, raw the card sits at £16.91 — 7,5× as much. Of 782 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £62.33 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 82 auctions the median was £12.99, across 268 fixed-price sales £15.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £12.61 and £17.77, with a median of £14.92. 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 £9.32. Offers well below £5.59 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 £14.89 (412), German £6.46 (29). English fetches about 130 % 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.
