A PSA 10 currently sells for about €4.517,41, raw the card sits at €221,06 — 20,4× as much. Of 2.496 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €589,57 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 85 auctions the median was €170,50, across 224 fixed-price sales €199,99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €102,30 and €220,00, with a median of €158,43. 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 €70,55. Offers well below €42,33 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 €216,84 (202), Japanese €111,23 (35), German €99,62 (12). English fetches about 118 % 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.
