A PSA 10 currently sells for about €288,14, raw the card sits at €3,25 — 88,7× as much. Of 226 copies already graded, 41 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €168,87 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 19 auctions the median was €2,06, across 89 fixed-price sales €2,96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 44 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €2,07 and €3,43, with a median of €2,61. 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 €1,57. Offers well below €0,94 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: French €3,43 (39), Italian €3,42 (36), English €2,97 (84). French fetches about 15 % 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.
