A PSA 10 currently sells for about €70,52, raw the card sits at €9,69 — 7,3× as much. Of 3.211 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €53,75 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 11 auctions the median was €17,65, across 48 fixed-price sales €10,49. Auctions therefore fetched about 68 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €7,89 and €11,30, with a median of €10,00. 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 €5,14. Offers well below €3,08 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: Italian €10,71 (21), English €9,97 (27). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
