A PSA 10 currently sells for about €5.441,48, raw the card sits at €158,53 — 34,3× as much. Of 8.726 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.037,17 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 239 auctions the median was €77,77, across 506 fixed-price sales €91,85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €56,62 and €105,60, with a median of €78,49. 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 €37,20. Offers well below €22,32 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 €144,30 (10), English €83,70 (741). German fetches about 72 % 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.
