A PSA 10 currently sells for about €767,93, raw the card sits at €6,87 — 111,8× as much. Of 458 copies already graded, 33 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €393,64 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 11 auctions the median was €4,50, across 119 fixed-price sales €5,25. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,18 and €6,45, with a median of €5,22. 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 €2,64. Offers well below €1,58 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 €7,18 (67), French €5,87 (56), English €5,23 (73). Italian fetches about 58 % 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.
