A PSA 10 currently sells for about £323.74, raw the card sits at £7.72 — 41,9× as much. Of 1.117 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £148.78 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 13 auctions the median was £5.45, across 63 fixed-price sales £7.47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 37 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.22 and £9.18, with a median of £7.45. 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 £5.20. Offers well below £3.12 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: German £14.82 (14), English £8.80 (124). German fetches about 68 % 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.
