A PSA 10 currently sells for about €10.469,79, raw the card sits at €439,51 — 23,8× as much. Of 3.263 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.437,90 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 65 auctions the median was €319,73, across 52 fixed-price sales €393,07. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €173,03 and €324,05, with a median of €230,76. 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 €102,32. Offers well below €61,39 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.
