A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.166,45, raw the card sits at €70,31 — 30,8× as much. Of 4.148 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 16 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €249,56 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 127 auctions the median was €51,00, across 271 fixed-price sales €64,04. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €41,85 and €76,26, with a median of €56,83. 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 €30,61. Offers well below €18,37 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 €65,15 (386), German €54,53 (32), Japanese €42,76 (83). English fetches about 52 % 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.
