A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.461,68, raw the card sits at €302,59 — 8,1× as much. Of 3.980 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €804,72 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 98 auctions the median was €289,66, across 147 fixed-price sales €271,22. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €162,50 and €283,89, with a median of €220,00. 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 €134,25. Offers well below €80,55 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: English €229,92 (139), German €149,92 (14). English fetches about 53 % 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.
