A PSA 10 currently sells for about €838,74, raw the card sits at €80,90 — 10,4× as much. Of 58.985 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €163,66 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 436 auctions the median was €74,40, across 566 fixed-price sales €84,09. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €43,60 and €80,91, with a median of €57,69. 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 €28,30. Offers well below €16,98 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: German €95,52 (45), French €75,84 (29), Italian €63,98 (127). German fetches about 70 % 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.
