A PSA 10 currently sells for about £240.07, raw the card sits at £2.22 — 108,2× as much. Of 1.263 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £39.01 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 28 auctions the median was £1.70, across 160 fixed-price sales £1.98. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.66 and £2.67, with a median of £1.98. 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 £1.31. Offers well below £0.79 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 £2.73 (78), English £2.23 (260), German £2.00 (20). Italian fetches about 37 % 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.
