A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.248,09, raw the card sits at €798,53 — 2,8× as much. Of 28.386 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.616,62 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 490 auctions the median was €751,53, across 563 fixed-price sales €857,02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €524,93 and €810,92, with a median of €672,05. 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 €307,04. Offers well below €184,22 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 €779,58 (549), Italian €589,71 (18), French €537,68 (10). English fetches about 56 % 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.
