A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.290,46, raw the card sits at €497,60 — 2,6× as much. Of 47.346 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €939,07 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 361 auctions the median was €491,18, across 604 fixed-price sales €527,15. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €339,14 and €499,00, with a median of €427,70. 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 €260,40. Offers well below €156,24 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 €486,86 (61), French €465,34 (15), English €441,75 (455). Italian fetches about 39 % 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.
