A PSA 10 currently sells for about €184,17, raw the card sits at €4,63 — 39,8× as much. Of 2.326 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €72,22 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 129 auctions the median was €2,00, across 290 fixed-price sales €3,45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 73 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €2,07 and €4,60, with a median of €3,02. 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 €1,34. Offers well below €0,80 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: Japanese €7,58 (18), German €3,39 (56), Italian €3,03 (37). Japanese fetches about 190 % 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.
