A PSA 10 currently sells for about €185,59, raw the card sits at €15,64 — 11,9× as much. Of 2.553 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €77,69 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 79 auctions the median was €12,69, across 259 fixed-price sales €16,99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €13,10 and €18,85, with a median of €15,83. 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 €10,07. Offers well below €6,04 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 €28,59 (17), French €19,77 (26), English €14,71 (183). German fetches about 94 % 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.
