A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.060,34, raw the card sits at €79,98 — 38,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €3.060,34 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.

Across 198 auctions the median was €61,35, across 367 fixed-price sales €69,88. 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 €36,44 and €77,39, with a median of €52,47. 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 €26,21. Offers well below €15,73 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 €59,73 (537), Japanese €32,55 (92). English fetches about 84 % 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.
