A PSA 10 currently sells for about £181.43, raw the card sits at £7.69 — 23,6× as much. Of 2.021 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £59.20 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 23 auctions the median was £6.34, across 126 fixed-price sales £8.17. 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 £6.58 and £9.08, with a median of £7.64. 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 £4.52. Offers well below £2.71 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: Italian £8.17 (15), English £7.92 (212). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
