A PSA 10 currently sells for about €852,12, raw the card sits at €29,15 — 29,2× as much. Of 4.410 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €111,52 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 163 auctions the median was €15,29, across 234 fixed-price sales €17,36. 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 €11,44 and €20,92, with a median of €15,71. 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 €8,05. Offers well below €4,83 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 €17,49 (302), Japanese €14,90 (21). English fetches about 17 % 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.
