A PSA 10 currently sells for about €84,22, raw the card sits at €6,63 — 12,7× as much. Of 890 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €48,05 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 39 auctions the median was €4,83, across 195 fixed-price sales €6,84. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,75 and €8,37, with a median of €6,70. 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 €4,69. Offers well below €2,81 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 €7,56 (88), English €6,18 (122), German €5,98 (19). Italian 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.
