A PSA 10 currently sells for about €111,55, raw the card sits at €2,18 — 51,2× as much. Of 1.797 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €43,62 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 7 auctions the median was €2,85, across 26 fixed-price sales €1,74. Auctions therefore fetched about 64 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,29 and €2,19, with a median of €1,65. 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 €0,92. Offers well below €0,55 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
