A PSA 10 currently sells for about €45,75, raw the card sits at €3,51 — 13,0× as much. Of 762 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €35,63 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 25 auctions the median was €3,23, across 68 fixed-price sales €4,18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,14 and €4,80, with a median of €3,69. 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 €2,50. Offers well below €1,50 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
