A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.246,17, raw the card sits at €114,28 — 10,9× as much. Of 4.174 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €455,49 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 102 auctions the median was €65,02, across 222 fixed-price sales €84,82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €48,09 and €91,98, with a median of €69,31. 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 €32,45. Offers well below €19,47 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 €74,12 (299), German €63,14 (12). English fetches about 17 % 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.
