A PSA 10 currently sells for about €41,73, raw the card sits at €2,55 — 16,4× as much. Of 1.143 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €68,25 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 22 auctions the median was €1,00, across 153 fixed-price sales €2,73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 173 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,86 and €3,51, with a median of €2,51. 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 €1,37. Offers well below €0,82 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 €4,99 (16), Italian €2,73 (39), French €2,63 (43). German fetches about 184 % 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.
