A PSA 10 currently sells for about €330,07, raw the card sits at €20,46 — 16,1× as much. Of 1.117 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €128,88 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 38 auctions the median was €10,76, across 117 fixed-price sales €15,75. Fixed price therefore fetched about 46 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €10,78 and €18,45, with a median of €13,94. 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 €7,72. Offers well below €4,63 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 €17,07 (35), English €12,25 (107). Italian fetches about 39 % 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.
