A PSA 10 currently sells for about €696,19, raw the card sits at €2,68 — 259,8× as much. Of 86 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €116,44 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 16 auctions the median was €2,62, across 58 fixed-price sales €2,54. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €1,99 and €3,14, with a median of €2,45. 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 €1,39. Offers well below €0,83 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: Italian €2,61 (16), English €2,18 (65). Italian fetches about 20 % 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.
