A PSA 10 currently sells for about €171,98, raw the card sits at €15,47 — 11,1× as much. Of 4.090 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €87,12 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 108 auctions the median was €11,18, across 304 fixed-price sales €14,03. 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 €10,40 and €15,65, with a median of €13,15. 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 €8,25. Offers well below €4,95 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 €24,23 (20), Italian €16,02 (12), English €12,25 (229). French fetches about 142 % 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.
