A PSA 10 currently sells for about €256,12, raw the card sits at €18,64 — 13,7× as much. Of 186 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €110,83 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 15 auctions the median was €4,50, across 43 fixed-price sales €6,75. Fixed price therefore fetched about 50 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,15 and €10,89, with a median of €5,83. 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 €3,11. Offers well below €1,87 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 €21,35 (11), French €10,05 (10), English €9,53 (69). Italian fetches about 124 % 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.
