A PSA 10 currently sells for about €327,87, raw the card sits at €8,90 — 36,8× as much. Of 649 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €81,22 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 94 auctions the median was €6,70, across 220 fixed-price sales €7,54. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,82 and €10,38, with a median of €6,91. 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 €3,48. Offers well below €2,09 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 €15,29 (14), English €5,57 (238). German fetches about 175 % 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.
