A PSA 10 currently sells for about €54,45, raw the card sits at €14,82 — 3,7× as much. Of 4.800 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €38,20 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 80 auctions the median was €13,37, across 233 fixed-price sales €16,90. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €13,09 and €18,29, with a median of €15,68. 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 €10,53. Offers well below €6,32 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 €18,99 (10), English €13,98 (206). German fetches about 36 % 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.
