A PSA 10 currently sells for about €231,56, raw the card sits at €10,82 — 21,4× as much. Of 134 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €86,63 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 €10,28, across 26 fixed-price sales €14,40. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €8,73 and €16,53, with a median of €11,39. 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 €8,34. Offers well below €5,00 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.
