A PSA 10 currently sells for about €280,83, raw the card sits at €12,40 — 22,6× as much. Of 731 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €103,88 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 75 auctions the median was €5,68, across 219 fixed-price sales €7,15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,28 and €10,03, with a median of €7,00. 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 €3,53. Offers well below €2,12 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: German €8,05 (14), English €6,50 (230). German fetches about 24 % 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.
