A PSA 10 currently sells for about €119,02, raw the card sits at €8,93 — 13,3× as much. Of 671 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €58,67 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 7 auctions the median was €9,98, across 16 fixed-price sales €3,50. Auctions therefore fetched about 185 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,85 and €4,19, with a median of €3,09. 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 €1,09. Offers well below €0,65 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
