A PSA 10 currently sells for about €294,85, raw the card sits at €33,15 — 8,9× as much. Of 1.082 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €94,42 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 50 auctions the median was €14,00, across 81 fixed-price sales €19,78. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €12,71 and €22,27, with a median of €17,49. 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 €9,61. Offers well below €5,77 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 €14,70 (81), German €14,44 (11). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
