A PSA 10 currently sells for about €418,50, raw the card sits at €194,36 — 2,2× as much. Of 22.958 copies already graded, 74 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €361,87 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 112 auctions the median was €192,36, across 354 fixed-price sales €175,32. Auctions therefore fetched about 10 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €130,00 and €186,00, with a median of €162,74. 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 €94,88. Offers well below €56,93 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 €175,35 (353), French €167,17 (14), German €123,69 (35). English fetches about 95 % 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.
