A PSA 10 currently sells for about €83,91, raw the card sits at €13,10 — 6,4× as much. Of 5.236 copies already graded, 82 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €81,29 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 6 auctions the median was €11,48, across 46 fixed-price sales €13,08. 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 €12,28 and €13,93, with a median of €13,02. 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 €10,70. Offers well below €6,42 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
