A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.429,49, raw the card sits at €28,48 — 50,2× as much. Of 1.881 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 15 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €107,58 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 17 auctions the median was €36,91, across 59 fixed-price sales €30,39. Auctions therefore fetched about 21 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €21,04 and €35,85, with a median of €27,20. 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 €16,86. Offers well below €10,12 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 €31,15 (70), French €19,99 (12). English fetches about 56 % 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.
