A PSA 10 currently sells for about €7.018,08, raw the card sits at €520,77 — 13,5× as much. Of 2.529 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.122,88 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. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 95 auctions the median was €341,93, across 182 fixed-price sales €412,48. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €242,63 and €439,48, with a median of €341,71. 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 €174,41. Offers well below €104,65 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 €358,53 (56), English €344,05 (171), German €220,57 (24). Japanese fetches about 63 % 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.
