A PSA 10 currently sells for about €44,84, raw the card sits at €4,16 — 10,8× as much. Of 3.739 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €35,89 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 82 auctions the median was €3,01, across 286 fixed-price sales €4,19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 39 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,00 and €4,64, with a median of €3,71. 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 €2,44. Offers well below €1,46 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 €4,27 (51), Italian €3,80 (65), English €3,51 (222). French fetches about 41 % 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.
