A PSA 10 currently sells for about €840,08, raw the card sits at €47,68 — 17,6× as much. Of 2.108 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €290,04 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 51 auctions the median was €27,57, across 150 fixed-price sales €35,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €25,76 and €42,74, with a median of €32,36. 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 €15,58. Offers well below €9,35 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 €38,13 (29), English €30,61 (137). Italian fetches about 25 % 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.
