A PSA 10 currently sells for about €587,27, raw the card sits at €102,38 — 5,7× as much. Of 17.612 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €284,44 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 219 auctions the median was €97,65, across 431 fixed-price sales €109,58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €85,00 and €112,07, with a median of €100,20. 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 €69,99. Offers well below €41,99 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 €148,25 (28), English €102,30 (446), Italian €97,49 (17). 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.
