A PSA 10 currently sells for about €278,00, raw the card sits at €26,24 — 10,6× as much. Of 13.907 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €113,30 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 255 auctions the median was €23,00, across 541 fixed-price sales €26,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €21,48 and €28,40, with a median of €24,50. 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 €18,90. Offers well below €11,34 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 €31,79 (73), Italian €26,30 (83), English €24,42 (537). French fetches about 59 % 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.
