A PSA 10 currently sells for about €883,07, raw the card sits at €30,75 — 28,7× as much. Of 3.255 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €208,82 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 74 auctions the median was €43,94, across 171 fixed-price sales €54,38. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €32,56 and €61,72, with a median of €47,23. 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 €21,84. Offers well below €13,10 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 €51,61 (271), Japanese €23,21 (24). English fetches about 122 % 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.
