A PSA 10 currently sells for about €245,34, raw the card sits at €56,16 — 4,4× as much. Of 12.772 copies already graded, 33 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €119,84 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 215 auctions the median was €52,74, across 560 fixed-price sales €60,95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €50,02 and €63,77, with a median of €55,80. 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 €45,24. Offers well below €27,14 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 €97,00 (17), Italian €64,89 (31), English €53,94 (627). French fetches about 94 % 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.
