A PSA 10 currently sells for about €31,27, raw the card sits at €5,72 — 5,5× as much. Of 730 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €22,97 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 23 auctions the median was €3,71, across 84 fixed-price sales €5,73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 54 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,28 and €6,53, with a median of €5,21. 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 €3,29. Offers well below €1,97 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 €5,62 (25), English €4,63 (67). Italian fetches about 21 % 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.
