A PSA 10 currently sells for about €749,62, raw the card sits at €364,42 — 2,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €749,62 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.

Across 114 auctions the median was €332,99, across 154 fixed-price sales €236,00. Auctions therefore fetched about 41 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €94,03 and €295,55, with a median of €174,41. 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 €64,17. Offers well below €38,50 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 €230,24 (133), Japanese €184,79 (30), German €86,52 (19). English fetches about 166 % 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.
