A PSA 10 currently sells for about €177,37, raw the card sits at €17,45 — 10,2× as much. Of 2.166 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €71,26 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 82 auctions the median was €17,07, across 229 fixed-price sales €19,34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €15,06 and €21,36, with a median of €18,60. 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 €12,65. Offers well below €7,59 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 €23,02 (12), Italian €18,50 (69), English €17,60 (176). German fetches about 31 % 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.
