A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.724,25, raw the card sits at €98,31 — 17,5× as much. Of 168 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.003,91 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 76 auctions the median was €68,92, across 188 fixed-price sales €50,00. Auctions therefore fetched about 38 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €20,93 and €65,96, with a median of €38,13. 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 €13,14. Offers well below €7,88 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 €46,16 (23), English €41,29 (170). French fetches about 12 % 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.
