A PSA 10 currently sells for about €138,01, raw the card sits at €30,74 — 4,5× as much. Of 5.702 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €92,15 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 81 auctions the median was €28,99, across 231 fixed-price sales €35,19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €27,43 and €37,95, with a median of €31,04. 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 €23,38. Offers well below €14,03 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: Italian €38,41 (13), English €30,88 (178). Italian fetches about 24 % 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.
