A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.273,94, raw the card sits at €799,23 — 2,8× as much. Of 28.386 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.638,71 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 480 auctions the median was €754,05, across 560 fixed-price sales €857,02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €525,00 and €807,80, with a median of €672,05. 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 €307,04. Offers well below €184,22 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 €758,56 (541), Italian €631,68 (17), French €537,68 (10). English fetches about 55 % 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.
