A PSA 10 currently sells for about €273,37, raw the card sits at €9,29 — 29,4× as much. Of 374 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 59 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €69,82 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 32 auctions the median was €7,50, across 147 fixed-price sales €8,36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €6,25 and €8,89, with a median of €7,45. 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 €5,25. Offers well below €3,15 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 €9,34 (19), English €8,42 (162), German €8,25 (14). Italian fetches about 13 % 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.
