A PSA 10 currently sells for about €88,10, raw the card sits at €7,50 — 11,7× as much. Of 392 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €72,21 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 154 auctions the median was €6,70, across 400 fixed-price sales €8,58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €6,51 and €9,50, with a median of €7,87. 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 €5,50. Offers well below €3,30 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 €10,82 (47), German €8,27 (50), Italian €7,71 (19). French fetches about 55 % 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.
