A PSA 10 currently sells for about €10.228,15, raw the card sits at €319,64 — 32,0× as much. Of 1.558 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.385,04 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 66 auctions the median was €138,63, across 129 fixed-price sales €145,55. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €99,07 and €171,76, with a median of €131,18. 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 €51,55. Offers well below €30,93 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 €145,93 (168), German €88,45 (12). English fetches about 65 % 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.
