A PSA 10 currently sells for about €339,79, raw the card sits at €102,32 — 3,3× as much. Of 6.598 copies already graded, 73 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €279,79 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 103 auctions the median was €82,36, across 194 fixed-price sales €100,95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €69,78 and €104,61, with a median of €85,77. 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 €57,24. Offers well below €34,34 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 €93,00 (211), German €65,00 (12). English fetches about 43 % 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.
