A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.829,48, raw the card sits at €51,34 — 35,6× as much. Of 497 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €378,85 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 47 auctions the median was €53,40, across 86 fixed-price sales €22,75. Auctions therefore fetched about 135 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €15,63 and €36,09, with a median of €20,81. 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 €10,92. Offers well below €6,55 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.
