A PSA 10 currently sells for about £140.85, raw the card sits at £5.24 — 26,9× as much. Of 2.181 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £70.23 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 114 auctions the median was £4.42, across 456 fixed-price sales £5.19. 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 £4.21 and £5.97, with a median of £4.91. 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 £3.28. Offers well below £1.97 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 £8.50 (28), French £7.64 (16), Italian £5.44 (28). German fetches about 90 % 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.
