A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.166,45, raw the card sits at €65,09 — 33,3× as much. Of 4.148 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 16 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €249,56 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 125 auctions the median was €51,22, across 271 fixed-price sales €64,04. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €41,85 and €76,26, with a median of €56,99. 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 €30,50. Offers well below €18,30 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 €71,07 (376), German €62,90 (30), Japanese €40,92 (79). English fetches about 74 % 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.
