A PSA 10 currently sells for about €349,40, raw the card sits at €12,67 — 27,6× as much. Of 532 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €97,71 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 69 auctions the median was €8,48, across 206 fixed-price sales €11,23. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €9,01 and €12,57, with a median of €10,85. 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 €7,26. Offers well below €4,36 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 €11,19 (16), English €11,15 (223). 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.
