A PSA 10 currently sells for about €177,48, raw the card sits at €7,82 — 22,7× as much. Of 364 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €41,22 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 149 auctions the median was €3,66, across 195 fixed-price sales €6,15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 68 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,39 and €7,33, with a median of €4,64. 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 €1,74. Offers well below €1,04 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 €10,83 (10), French €4,73 (18), English €4,26 (306). German fetches about 154 % 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.
