A PSA 10 currently sells for about €111,30, raw the card sits at €13,11 — 8,5× as much. Of 1.692 copies already graded, 69 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €89,66 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 38 auctions the median was €5,69, across 191 fixed-price sales €9,41. Fixed price therefore fetched about 65 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,87 and €11,30, with a median of €8,53. 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 €3,94. Offers well below €2,36 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 €12,59 (12), Italian €10,21 (64), English €6,79 (161). German fetches about 85 % 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.
