A PSA 10 currently sells for about €65,02, raw the card sits at €4,64 — 14,0× as much. Of 2.293 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €38,30 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 84 auctions the median was €3,42, across 236 fixed-price sales €4,54. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,49 and €5,45, with a median of €4,36. 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 €2,72. Offers well below €1,63 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: French €5,03 (63), Italian €4,53 (77), English €4,02 (209). French fetches about 56 % 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.
