A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.612,49, raw the card sits at €160,40 — 22,5× as much. Of 1.509 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.416,48 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 32 auctions the median was €125,00, across 62 fixed-price sales €154,80. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €73,18 and €186,72, with a median of €115,01. 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 €54,37. Offers well below €32,62 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.
