A PSA 10 currently sells for about €303,50, raw the card sits at €90,99 — 3,3× as much. Of 34.217 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €182,92 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 364 auctions the median was €90,10, across 806 fixed-price sales €100,00. 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 €79,62 and €103,06, with a median of €89,99. 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 €65,10. Offers well below €39,06 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 €89,29 (798), Italian €83,79 (21), French €68,90 (19). 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.
