A PSA 10 currently sells for about €36,29, raw the card sits at €1,86 — 19,5× as much. Of 1.265 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €24,54 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 143 auctions the median was €1,33, across 317 fixed-price sales €2,14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 61 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,34 and €2,77, with a median of €1,87. 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 €0,88. Offers well below €0,53 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 €1,95 (49), English €1,74 (335), German €1,43 (45). French fetches about 36 % 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.
