A PSA 10 currently sells for about €58,47, raw the card sits at €5,56 — 10,5× as much. Of 4.384 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €46,47 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 203 auctions the median was €5,55, across 347 fixed-price sales €7,37. 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 €4,73 and €8,10, with a median of €6,03. 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 €3,87. Offers well below €2,32 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: French €10,23 (36), German €6,00 (59), English €5,24 (377). French fetches about 95 % 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.
