A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.080,33, raw the card sits at €51,27 — 21,1× as much. Of 397 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €120,87 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 65 auctions the median was €34,05, across 206 fixed-price sales €40,97. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €32,77 and €48,73, with a median of €40,12. 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 €25,18. Offers well below €15,11 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: Italian €52,97 (12), English €51,15 (220), German €45,00 (11). Italian fetches about 18 % 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.
