A PSA 10 currently sells for about €78,27, raw the card sits at €5,23 — 15,0× as much. Of 4.773 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €49,12 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 38 auctions the median was €3,99, across 150 fixed-price sales €5,63. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,18 and €6,27, with a median of €5,18. 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 €3,13. Offers well below €1,88 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 €5,57 (22), English €4,57 (92), German €4,00 (11). Italian fetches about 77 % 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.
