A PSA 10 currently sells for about €175,11, raw the card sits at €18,93 — 9,3× as much. Of 3.968 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €108,52 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 77 auctions the median was €13,33, across 220 fixed-price sales €18,86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €13,54 and €19,95, with a median of €16,23. 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 €10,85. Offers well below €6,51 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: German €19,44 (10), English €16,55 (185), French €16,54 (15). German fetches about 18 % 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.
