A PSA 10 currently sells for about €14.822,09, raw the card sits at €508,73 — 29,1× as much. Of 9.425 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.115,12 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 172 auctions the median was €472,35, across 146 fixed-price sales €399,99. Auctions therefore fetched about 18 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €152,12 and €376,99, with a median of €238,75. 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 €87,49. Offers well below €52,49 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: English €301,05 (126), French €257,78 (14). English fetches about 17 % 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.
