A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.054,63, raw the card sits at €86,84 — 23,7× as much. Of 4.536 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €260,54 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 141 auctions the median was €56,32, across 243 fixed-price sales €61,14. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €41,21 and €70,68, with a median of €55,79. 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 €29,06. Offers well below €17,44 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 €59,85 (373), Japanese €27,21 (28). English fetches about 120 % 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.
