A PSA 10 currently sells for about £32.39, raw the card sits at £4.04 — 8.0× as much. Of 2.281 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £23.46 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 106 auctions the median was £3.30, across 418 fixed-price sales £4.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.24 and £4.76, with a median of £3.89. 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 £2.41. Offers well below £1.44 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 £4.48 (40), French £4.22 (14), English £4.05 (592). Italian fetches about 35 % more.

Last Sold 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.
