A PSA 10 currently sells for about €23,89, raw the card sits at €1,61 — 14,8× as much. Of 692 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €21,00 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 41 auctions the median was €1,03, across 67 fixed-price sales €1,85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 80 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,48 and €2,60, with a median of €1,97. 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 €1,00. Offers well below €0,60 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: Italian €2,87 (12), English €1,60 (90), French €1,52 (18). Italian fetches about 122 % 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.
