A PSA 10 currently sells for about €350,74, raw the card sits at €6,46 — 54,3× as much. Of 5.969 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €56,23 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 93 auctions the median was €4,27, across 141 fixed-price sales €5,57. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,49 and €6,66, with a median of €4,76. 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 €2,50. Offers well below €1,50 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 €5,33 (13), English €4,51 (263). Italian fetches about 18 % 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.
