A PSA 10 currently sells for about €57,83, raw the card sits at €3,31 — 17,5× as much. Of 712 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €47,10 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 31 auctions the median was €2,15, across 106 fixed-price sales €3,33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 55 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €2,50 and €3,66, with a median of €3,13. 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 €1,75. Offers well below €1,05 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 €3,31 (25), English €2,80 (77). Italian fetches about 18 % 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.
