A PSA 10 currently sells for about €467,42, raw the card sits at €26,60 — 17,6× as much. Of 1.121 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €156,40 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 42 auctions the median was €28,00, across 63 fixed-price sales €31,23. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €20,94 and €31,23, with a median of €26,67. 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 €15,90. Offers well below €9,54 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.
