A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.871,97, raw the card sits at €23,21 — 80,7× as much. Of 1.639 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €600,33 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 48 auctions the median was €10,95, across 106 fixed-price sales €16,19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 48 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €8,75 and €20,82, with a median of €13,49. 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 €5,70. Offers well below €3,42 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 €18,24 (14), English €14,88 (167), French €14,49 (10). Italian fetches about 26 % 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.
