A PSA 10 currently sells for about €699,57, raw the card sits at €23,08 — 30,3× as much. Of 1.873 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €278,62 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 114 auctions the median was €11,00, across 215 fixed-price sales €13,50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €9,26 and €17,69, with a median of €12,49. 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 €6,16. Offers well below €3,70 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: English €13,95 (275), German €9,75 (11). English fetches about 43 % 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.
