A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.142,04, raw the card sits at €104,09 — 11,0× as much. Of 3.848 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €243,58 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 107 auctions the median was €52,72, across 248 fixed-price sales €67,91. 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 €37,20 and €76,95, with a median of €60,45. 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 €17,17. Offers well below €10,30 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 €65,21 (359), Japanese €26,90 (16). English fetches about 142 % 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.
