A PSA 10 currently sells for about €473,39, raw the card sits at €12,57 — 37,7× as much. Of 1.530 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €39,17 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 91 auctions the median was €8,61, across 259 fixed-price sales €11,33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €8,68 and €13,46, with a median of €10,99. 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 €7,00. Offers well below €4,20 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 €12,56 (35), French €12,48 (43), English €11,38 (251). Italian fetches about 63 % 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.
