A PSA 10 currently sells for about €97,24, raw the card sits at €8,46 — 11,5× as much. Of 937 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €55,02 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 53 auctions the median was €5,50, across 238 fixed-price sales €7,70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €6,13 and €8,60, with a median of €7,29. 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 €4,99. Offers well below €2,99 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: French €7,63 (16), English €7,44 (190), German €5,31 (23). French fetches about 44 % 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.
