A PSA 10 currently sells for about €392,82, raw the card sits at €2,62 — 149,9× as much. Of 7.594 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €138,19 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 21 auctions the median was €1,74, across 66 fixed-price sales €1,74. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €1,39 and €2,62, with a median of €1,76. 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 €1,00. Offers well below €0,60 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: German €3,43 (17), English €2,62 (252). German fetches about 31 % 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.
