A PSA 10 currently sells for about €932,51, raw the card sits at €33,46 — 27,9× as much. Of 347 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €107,91 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 66 auctions the median was €17,62, across 161 fixed-price sales €26,08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 48 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €17,19 and €31,39, with a median of €23,03. 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 €11,60. Offers well below €6,96 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 €32,71 (14), English €22,82 (177). Italian fetches about 43 % 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.
