A PSA 10 currently sells for about €907,75, raw the card sits at €47,85 — 19,0× as much. Of 851 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €268,94 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 107 auctions the median was €19,08, across 153 fixed-price sales €26,18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 37 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €15,80 and €31,22, with a median of €21,13. 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 €11,51. Offers well below €6,91 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 €22,66 (208), French €19,79 (11), German €13,77 (14). English fetches about 65 % 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.
