A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.505,44, raw the card sits at €30,23 — 49,8× as much. Of 3.010 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €133,80 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 103 auctions the median was €16,18, across 161 fixed-price sales €19,02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €12,57 and €21,46, with a median of €17,00. 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 €9,03. Offers well below €5,42 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 €19,51 (187), German €12,66 (15), Japanese €10,24 (43). English fetches about 91 % 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.
