A PSA 10 currently sells for about €877,80, raw the card sits at €13,11 — 67,0× as much. Of 11.301 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €229,73 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 57 auctions the median was €8,80, across 138 fixed-price sales €11,70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €7,32 and €14,49, with a median of €10,54. 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 €4,36. Offers well below €2,62 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: French €25,53 (11), English €9,98 (92), Italian €8,52 (65). French fetches about 200 % 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.
