A PSA 10 currently sells for about €8.942,62, raw the card sits at €28,80 — 310,5× as much. Of 383 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.147,37 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 29 auctions the median was €13,37, across 90 fixed-price sales €10,44. Auctions therefore fetched about 28 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €5,20 and €18,48, with a median of €8,74. 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 €3,14. Offers well below €1,88 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.
