A PSA 10 currently sells for about €85,04, raw the card sits at €4,62 — 18,4× as much. Of 1.622 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €40,62 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 75 auctions the median was €2,58, across 182 fixed-price sales €4,37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 69 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,02 and €5,26, with a median of €4,13. 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 €1,97. Offers well below €1,18 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: German €4,98 (38), French €4,45 (34), Italian €4,25 (50). German fetches about 26 % 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.
