A PSA 10 currently sells for about €783,16, raw the card sits at €87,57 — 8,9× as much. Of 8.818 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €238,38 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 204 auctions the median was €80,62, across 400 fixed-price sales €89,28. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €74,36 and €97,65, with a median of €85,20. 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 €56,71. Offers well below €34,03 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 €85,64 (534), French €83,18 (11), German €56,07 (35). English fetches about 53 % 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.
