A PSA 10 currently sells for about €337,34, raw the card sits at €5,57 — 60,6× as much. Of 225 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €126,21 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 45 auctions the median was €5,24, across 97 fixed-price sales €8,36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 60 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,21 and €9,93, with a median of €7,83. 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 €2,61. Offers well below €1,57 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 €7,49 (104), Japanese €4,65 (29). English fetches about 61 % 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.
