A PSA 10 currently sells for about £40.55, raw the card sits at £5.81 — 7,0× as much. Of 856 copies already graded, 33 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £21.13 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 93 auctions the median was £4.72, across 195 fixed-price sales £8.01. Fixed price therefore fetched about 70 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.51 and £8.85, with a median of £6.71. 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 £4.01. Offers well below £2.40 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: French £9.42 (18), German £5.98 (23), English £5.59 (377). French fetches about 69 % 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.
