A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.290,24, raw the card sits at €123,61 — 10,4× as much. Of 1.993 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €518,50 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 48 auctions the median was €76,52, across 111 fixed-price sales €93,90. 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 €51,15 and €103,34, with a median of €72,62. 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 €31,59. Offers well below €18,95 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 €80,64 (132), German €64,79 (11). English fetches about 24 % 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.
