A PSA 10 currently sells for about €255,13, raw the card sits at €46,49 — 5,5× as much. Of 63.194 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €165,37 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 509 auctions the median was €54,47, across 815 fixed-price sales €56,87. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €41,92 and €56,96, with a median of €48,14. 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 €37,50. Offers well below €22,50 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 €70,00 (45), Italian €59,85 (41), German €44,95 (70). French fetches about 59 % 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.
