A PSA 10 currently sells for about €170,28, raw the card sits at €17,40 — 9,8× as much. Of 2.230 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €50,82 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 102 auctions the median was €12,00, across 277 fixed-price sales €15,79. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €11,96 and €17,79, with a median of €15,49. 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 €9,50. Offers well below €5,70 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: French €17,28 (31), Italian €15,90 (20), English €15,52 (269). French fetches about 33 % 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.
