A PSA 10 currently sells for about €109,07, raw the card sits at €13,72 — 7,9× as much. Of 985 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €40,72 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 49 auctions the median was €7,76, across 182 fixed-price sales €10,59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €8,67 and €12,69, with a median of €10,46. 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 €6,65. Offers well below €3,99 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 €11,18 (15), English €10,99 (186), German €5,92 (16). French fetches about 89 % 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.
