A PSA 10 currently sells for about €109,32, raw the card sits at €3,47 — 31,5× as much. Of 174 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €65,77 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 19 auctions the median was €2,59, across 63 fixed-price sales €3,13. 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 €2,18 and €4,18, with a median of €2,82. 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 €1,28. Offers well below €0,77 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: Japanese €3,19 (10), English €2,20 (55). Japanese fetches about 45 % 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.
