A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.539,84, raw the card sits at €74,67 — 34,0× as much. Of 7.249 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €786,53 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 41 auctions the median was €69,99, across 53 fixed-price sales €87,45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €26,50 and €92,99, with a median of €61,03. 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 €8,52. Offers well below €5,11 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 €87,94 (27), French €60,60 (20). English fetches about 45 % 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.
