A PSA 10 currently sells for about €37,20, raw the card sits at €2,09 — 17,8× as much. Of 581 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €28,95 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 25 auctions the median was €1,00, across 116 fixed-price sales €2,61. Fixed price therefore fetched about 161 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,66 and €3,00, with a median of €2,10. 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 €0,94. Offers well below €0,56 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: Italian €2,57 (41), German €2,31 (39), English €1,78 (62). Italian fetches about 44 % 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.
