A PSA 10 currently sells for about €91,72, raw the card sits at €28,32 — 3,2× as much. Of 4.914 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €71,17 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 155 auctions the median was €21,05, across 347 fixed-price sales €28,37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 35 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €19,75 and €30,96, with a median of €24,27. 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 €17,33. Offers well below €10,40 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: French €36,16 (29), German €32,00 (38), Italian €21,71 (12). French fetches about 73 % 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.
