A PSA 10 currently sells for about €26,17, raw the card sits at €4,21 — 6,2× as much. Of 976 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €18,38 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 16 auctions the median was €3,72, across 51 fixed-price sales €4,33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,43 and €5,79, with a median of €4,20. 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 €2,59. Offers well below €1,55 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.
