A PSA 10 currently sells for about €368,74, raw the card sits at €54,19 — 6,8× as much. Of 19.283 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €184,93 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 126 auctions the median was €43,60, across 265 fixed-price sales €52,71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €31,60 and €57,10, with a median of €43,73. 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 €22,48. Offers well below €13,49 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: English €43,72 (230), Italian €42,42 (21). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
