A PSA 10 currently sells for about €87,96, raw the card sits at €12,07 — 7,3× as much. Of 4.351 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €51,29 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 186 auctions the median was €9,62, across 290 fixed-price sales €13,60. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €9,30 and €15,00, with a median of €11,74. 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 €6,98. Offers well below €4,19 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: French €15,57 (52), German €13,07 (23), Italian €11,74 (34). French fetches about 48 % 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.
