A PSA 10 currently sells for about €208,68, raw the card sits at €7,05 — 29,6× as much. Of 443 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €98,81 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 7 auctions the median was €4,68, across 22 fixed-price sales €7,32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 56 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,68 and €9,25, with a median of €7,08. 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 €3,13. Offers well below €1,88 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.
