A PSA 10 currently sells for about €344,25, raw the card sits at €88,48 — 3,9× as much. Of 1.201 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €249,65 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 222 auctions the median was €82,45, across 616 fixed-price sales €95,32. 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 €79,56 and €104,55, with a median of €92,65. 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 €69,40. Offers well below €41,64 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: French €110,58 (21), English €88,35 (970), German €64,18 (57). French fetches about 175 % 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.
