A PSA 10 currently sells for about €58,46, raw the card sits at €5,01 — 11,7× as much. Of 3.204 copies already graded, 68 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €46,85 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 87 auctions the median was €4,46, across 307 fixed-price sales €5,97. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,35 and €6,55, with a median of €5,23. 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 €3,51. Offers well below €2,11 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 €5,85 (33), French €5,62 (37), German €5,47 (54). Italian fetches about 26 % 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.
