A PSA 10 currently sells for about €9.939,95, raw the card sits at €261,57 — 38,0× as much. Of 3.356 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.703,61 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 146 auctions the median was €135,54, across 202 fixed-price sales €149,35. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €66,46 and €174,00, with a median of €102,09. 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 €44,74. Offers well below €26,84 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 €142,46 (359), German €67,34 (15). English fetches about 112 % 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.
