A PSA 10 currently sells for about €41,82, raw the card sits at €3,31 — 12,6× as much. Of 2.537 copies already graded, 68 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €32,38 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 246 auctions the median was €2,57, across 284 fixed-price sales €3,35. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €2,20 and €3,71, with a median of €2,80. 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 €1,49. Offers well below €0,89 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: French €3,43 (60), Italian €3,20 (33), German €2,99 (25). French fetches about 22 % 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.
