A PSA 10 currently sells for about €5.572,67, raw the card sits at €157,16 — 35,5× as much. Of 1.013 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €979,61 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 43 auctions the median was €94,53, across 135 fixed-price sales €104,53. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €48,90 and €113,56, with a median of €79,05. 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 €29,24. Offers well below €17,54 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 €87,55 (19), English €87,37 (203). 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.
