Professor Sada's Vitality

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €69,21, raw the card sits at €9,09 — 7,6× as much. Of 1.128 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €32,96 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 35 auctions the median was €6,41, across 170 fixed-price sales €9,37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 46 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €7,74 and €11,16, with a median of €9,18. 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 €6,48. Offers well below €3,89 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: English €8,76 (162), German €8,06 (12). 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.
