A PSA 10 currently sells for about €465,41, raw the card sits at €81,91 — 5,7× as much. Of 34.951 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €203,28 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 280 auctions the median was €73,45, across 554 fixed-price sales €78,91. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €25,93 and €83,99, with a median of €70,03. 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 €20,55. Offers well below €12,33 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.
