A PSA 10 currently sells for about £29.37, raw the card sits at £1.51 — 19,4× as much. Of 2.066 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £20.37 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 40 auctions the median was £0.99, across 94 fixed-price sales £1.77. Fixed price therefore fetched about 79 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.28 and £2.21, with a median of £1.75. 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 £0.80. Offers well below £0.48 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 £2.54 (11), English £1.49 (159). German fetches about 71 % 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.
