A PSA 10 currently sells for about €783,16, raw the card sits at €86,45 — 9,1× as much. Of 8.818 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €238,38 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 205 auctions the median was €79,84, across 401 fixed-price sales €89,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €74,20 and €97,18, with a median of €85,04. 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 €57,00. Offers well below €34,20 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 €85,01 (548), French €83,18 (11), German €57,36 (36). English fetches about 48 % 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.
