A PSA 10 currently sells for about £67.08, raw the card sits at £2.68 — 25,0× as much. Of 850 copies already graded, 58 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £46.67 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 £2.00, across 75 fixed-price sales £2.98. Fixed price therefore fetched about 49 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.23 and £3.55, with a median of £2.67. 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 £1.69. Offers well below £1.02 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: English £2.56 (328), German £2.53 (21). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
