A PSA 10 currently sells for about €291,04, raw the card sits at €18,60 — 15,6× as much. Of 9.200 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €108,92 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 78 auctions the median was €20,49, across 359 fixed-price sales €17,64. Auctions therefore fetched about 16 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €16,43 and €21,90, with a median of €18,17. 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 €13,95. Offers well below €8,37 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: French €29,99 (25), German €21,96 (52), Italian €21,64 (29). French fetches about 67 % 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.
