A PSA 10 currently sells for about €53,50, raw the card sits at €4,17 — 12,8× as much. Of 2.000 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €34,38 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 €2,85, across 285 fixed-price sales €4,16. Fixed price therefore fetched about 46 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,13 and €4,80, with a median of €3,99. 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 €2,53. Offers well below €1,52 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 €3,91 (31), Italian €3,81 (43), English €3,66 (136). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
