A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.085,05, raw the card sits at €52,45 — 39,8× as much. Of 628 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €548,09 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 46 auctions the median was €43,63, across 170 fixed-price sales €36,63. Auctions therefore fetched about 19 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €26,10 and €51,00, with a median of €35,08. 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 €17,50. Offers well below €10,50 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: German €44,68 (31), English €39,16 (151). German fetches about 14 % 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.
