A PSA 10 currently sells for about €437,09, raw the card sits at €30,59 — 14,3× as much. Of 1.904 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €158,71 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 75 auctions the median was €15,81, across 63 fixed-price sales €18,41. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €9,02 and €19,83, with a median of €13,66. 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 €5,16. Offers well below €3,10 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
