A PSA 10 currently sells for about €192,15, raw the card sits at €15,72 — 12,2× as much. Of 5.830 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €137,26 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 227 auctions the median was €12,81, across 407 fixed-price sales €13,25. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €9,83 and €15,19, with a median of €12,49. 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 €7,91. Offers well below €4,75 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 €15,61 (41), English €12,99 (447), German €12,00 (19). French fetches about 30 % 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.
