A PSA 10 currently sells for about €209,25, raw the card sits at €60,78 — 3,4× as much. Of 26.944 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €149,36 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 223 auctions the median was €61,61, across 400 fixed-price sales €70,03. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €46,69 and €67,97, with a median of €55,55. 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 €35,85. Offers well below €21,51 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: English €55,80 (404), French €48,07 (10), German €40,00 (38). English fetches about 40 % 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.
