A PSA 10 currently sells for about €146,59, raw the card sits at €18,39 — 8,0× as much. Of 2.030 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €86,93 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 59 auctions the median was €10,98, across 135 fixed-price sales €15,62. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €10,41 and €16,66, with a median of €13,82. 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 €7,43. Offers well below €4,46 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 €16,03 (11), English €13,19 (109). Italian fetches about 22 % 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.
