A PSA 10 currently sells for about €927,87, raw the card sits at €45,28 — 20,5× as much. Of 778 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €755,03 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 57 auctions the median was €8,76, across 177 fixed-price sales €8,05. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €5,50 and €10,51, with a median of €7,45. 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 €4,14. Offers well below €2,48 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 €8,77 (234), German €8,59 (53). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
