A PSA 10 currently sells for about €524,70, raw the card sits at €179,29 — 2,9× as much. Of 14.572 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €376,94 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 129 auctions the median was €173,24, across 235 fixed-price sales €201,68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €154,67 and €209,64, with a median of €177,17. 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 €113,56. Offers well below €68,14 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 €183,48 (22), English €181,27 (257), German €111,90 (12). Italian fetches about 64 % 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.
