A PSA 10 currently sells for about €63,86, raw the card sits at €6,15 — 10,4× as much. Of 1.301 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €55,89 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 €3,14, across 104 fixed-price sales €5,69. Fixed price therefore fetched about 81 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,19 and €6,22, with a median of €5,12. 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 €3,14. Offers well below €1,88 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 €5,68 (20), English €4,41 (131). Italian fetches about 29 % 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.
