A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.036,59, raw the card sits at €25,41 — 40,8× as much. Of 476 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €208,18 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 54 auctions the median was €13,23, across 164 fixed-price sales €17,19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €12,02 and €21,81, with a median of €16,75. 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 €8,93. Offers well below €5,36 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 €23,90 (207), Japanese €17,48 (14). English fetches about 37 % 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.
