A PSA 10 currently sells for about €219,88, raw the card sits at €2,65 — 83,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €219,88 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.

Across 27 auctions the median was €1,00, across 34 fixed-price sales €1,74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 74 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,00 and €2,13, with a median of €1,66. 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 €0,93. Offers well below €0,56 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 €2,63 (12), English €1,36 (56). Japanese fetches about 93 % 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.
