A PSA 10 currently sells for about €444,41, raw the card sits at €106,23 — 4,2× as much. Of 16.327 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €299,89 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 105 auctions the median was €120,90, across 458 fixed-price sales €103,30. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €82,63 and €111,60, with a median of €97,26. 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 €70,00. Offers well below €42,00 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: French €145,70 (17), German €104,46 (53), English €102,30 (438). French fetches about 84 % 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.
