A PSA 10 currently sells for about £105.92, raw the card sits at £3.06 — 34.7× as much. Of 588 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £68.78 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 23 auctions the median was £2.78, across 201 fixed-price sales £3.65. Fixed price therefore fetched about 31 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.92 and £4.34, with a median of £3.60. 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 £1.45 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 £5.94 (19), English £3.05 (300). German fetches about 95 % 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.
