A PSA 10 currently sells for about €50,88, raw the card sits at €3,87 — 13,1× as much. Of 799 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €50,88 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 28 auctions the median was €2,01, across 130 fixed-price sales €3,55. Fixed price therefore fetched about 77 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €2,78 and €4,17, with a median of €3,29. 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 €2,00. Offers well below €1,20 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: German €3,38 (17), English €3,23 (110), Italian €2,38 (26). German fetches about 42 % 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.
