A PSA 10 currently sells for about €67,44, raw the card sits at €2,89 — 23,3× as much. Of 1.291 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €58,63 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 20 auctions the median was €1,03, across 63 fixed-price sales €2,26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 119 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,66 and €3,02, with a median of €2,08. 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 €1,00. Offers well below €0,60 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 €2,25 (16), English €1,74 (55). German fetches about 29 % 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.
