A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.286,35, raw the card sits at €11,23 — 114,5× as much. Of 603 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €289,28 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 €6,57, across 86 fixed-price sales €9,48. Fixed price therefore fetched about 44 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €7,00 and €12,32, with a median of €9,42. 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 €4,96. Offers well below €2,98 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 €9,75 (12), English €8,37 (106). Italian fetches about 16 % 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.
