A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.349,87, raw the card sits at €147,47 — 15,9× as much. Of 831 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €757,47 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 35 auctions the median was €90,29, across 86 fixed-price sales €121,82. 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 €59,34 and €128,84, with a median of €82,98. 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 €43,00. Offers well below €25,80 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
