A PSA 10 currently sells for about €86,64, raw the card sits at €8,72 — 9,9× as much. Of 4.686 copies already graded, 75 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €86,64 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 43 auctions the median was €6,56, across 124 fixed-price sales €8,64. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €6,88 and €9,91, with a median of €8,07. 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 €5,74. Offers well below €3,44 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: German €10,03 (10), English €7,43 (120), Italian €7,17 (27). German fetches about 40 % 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.
