A PSA 10 currently sells for about €5.632,82, raw the card sits at €211,26 — 26,7× as much. Of 2.325 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €907,53 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 57 auctions the median was €87,35, across 142 fixed-price sales €120,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 37 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €57,01 and €144,15, with a median of €92,98. 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 €35,08. Offers well below €21,05 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: German €140,12 (12), English €114,15 (318). German fetches about 23 % 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.
