A PSA 10 currently sells for about €183,66, raw the card sits at €11,50 — 16,0× as much. Of 3.074 copies already graded, 67 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €139,87 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 19 auctions the median was €9,93, across 22 fixed-price sales €11,79. 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 €8,36 and €11,79, with a median of €9,72. 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 €6,77. Offers well below €4,06 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
