A PSA 10 currently sells for about €75,75, raw the card sits at €2,80 — 27,1× as much. Of 1.599 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €38,41 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 14 auctions the median was €2,99, across 105 fixed-price sales €2,59. Auctions therefore fetched about 15 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €2,25 and €3,26, with a median of €2,78. 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 €1,72. Offers well below €1,03 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 €5,00 (11), German €3,00 (18), English €2,78 (211). French fetches about 80 % 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.
