A PSA 10 currently sells for about €105,66, raw the card sits at €5,61 — 18,8× as much. Of 1.686 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €34,63 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 71 auctions the median was €5,50, across 81 fixed-price sales €9,32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 69 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,00 and €12,07, with a median of €8,77. 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 €2,54. Offers well below €1,52 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 €6,90 (85), Japanese €2,55 (40). English fetches about 171 % 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.
