Lt. Surge's Bargain

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €77,63, raw the card sits at €18,59 — 4,2× as much. Of 3.332 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €51,20 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 65 auctions the median was €14,40, across 150 fixed-price sales €20,85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 45 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €15,35 and €20,94, with a median of €18,59. 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 €11,50. Offers well below €6,90 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: French €17,66 (37), English €16,73 (171). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
