A PSA 10 currently sells for about €230,70, raw the card sits at €35,72 — 6,5× as much. Of 7.415 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €142,34 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 146 auctions the median was €30,86, across 263 fixed-price sales €34,73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €25,62 and €36,44, with a median of €30,10. 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 €17,52. Offers well below €10,51 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 €36,17 (13), English €32,36 (258), French €32,16 (16). Italian fetches about 12 % 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.
