A PSA 10 currently sells for about €707,47, raw the card sits at €69,75 — 10,1× as much. Of 497 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €306,95 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 134 auctions the median was €62,57, across 319 fixed-price sales €74,55. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €57,50 and €78,47, with a median of €67,43. 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 €47,39. Offers well below €28,43 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 €67,88 (280), French €65,70 (11), German €42,14 (18). English fetches about 61 % 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.
