A PSA 10 currently sells for about €46,39, raw the card sits at €1,31 — 35,4× as much. Of 526 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €34,88 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 39 auctions the median was €1,09, across 116 fixed-price sales €1,86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 71 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,32 and €2,41, with a median of €1,85. 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 €0,93. Offers well below €0,56 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: French €2,50 (23), German €2,00 (28), Italian €1,67 (17). French fetches about 79 % 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.
