A PSA 10 currently sells for about €28.852,86, raw the card sits at €123,29 — 234,0× as much. Of 1.303 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.177,28 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 68 auctions the median was €57,96, across 159 fixed-price sales €55,27. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €22,89 and €71,55, with a median of €40,63. 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 €15,61. Offers well below €9,37 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 €35,05 (256), German €22,90 (15), French €17,05 (10). English fetches about 106 % 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.
