A PSA 10 currently sells for about €374,41, raw the card sits at €81,71 — 4,6× as much. Of 15.274 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €199,90 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 145 auctions the median was €73,46, across 322 fixed-price sales €87,47. 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 €65,87 and €88,43, with a median of €75,72. 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 €59,00. Offers well below €35,40 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 €76,24 (345), Italian €74,15 (25), German €60,31 (48). English 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.
