A PSA 10 currently sells for about €107,29, raw the card sits at €16,91 — 6,3× as much. Of 4.554 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €64,39 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 151 auctions the median was €12,10, across 544 fixed-price sales €15,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €11,51 and €16,49, with a median of €13,99. 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 €9,89. Offers well below €5,93 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 €18,06 (33), French €16,74 (44), Italian €15,89 (11). German fetches about 25 % 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.
