A PSA 10 currently sells for about €174,41, raw the card sits at €13,09 — 13,3× as much. Of 341 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €80,82 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 25 auctions the median was €12,50, across 64 fixed-price sales €10,00. Auctions therefore fetched about 25 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €7,95 and €12,50, with a median of €9,60. 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 €6,37. Offers well below €3,82 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 €9,94 (34), French €8,82 (26). English fetches about 13 % 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.
