A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.623,85, raw the card sits at €579,42 — 6,3× as much. Of 1.154 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.006,85 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 40 auctions the median was €173,76, across 86 fixed-price sales €145,24. Auctions therefore fetched about 20 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €69,88 and €140,15, with a median of €97,68. 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 €49,29. Offers well below €29,57 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.
