A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.688,05, raw the card sits at €282,92 — 9,5× as much. Of 2.736 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €780,05 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 31 auctions the median was €233,16, across 40 fixed-price sales €294,47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €194,37 and €263,57, with a median of €211,64. 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 €172,49. Offers well below €103,49 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.
