A PSA 10 currently sells for about €5.046,57, raw the card sits at €698,89 — 7,2× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €5.046,57 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.

Across 104 auctions the median was €455,65, across 155 fixed-price sales €527,15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €285,46 and €511,88, with a median of €362,69. 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 €242,24. Offers well below €145,34 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.
