A PSA 10 currently sells for about €446,45, raw the card sits at €6,40 — 69,8× as much. Of 15.474 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €109,06 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 84 auctions the median was €3,72, across 223 fixed-price sales €3,58. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €2,09 and €6,19, with a median of €3,19. 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 €1,48. Offers well below €0,89 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: Italian €5,67 (14), French €4,43 (26), German €3,82 (41). Italian fetches about 116 % 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.
