A PSA 10 currently sells for about €181,41, raw the card sits at €17,31 — 10,5× as much. Of 6.208 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €64,50 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 159 auctions the median was €13,57, across 500 fixed-price sales €17,44. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €13,09 and €18,74, with a median of €16,10. 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 €10,00. Offers well below €6,00 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: Italian €18,46 (62), English €14,87 (409), German €14,46 (78). Italian fetches about 72 % 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.
