A PSA 10 currently sells for about €233,48, raw the card sits at €27,70 — 8,4× as much. Of 18.548 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €109,14 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 23 auctions the median was €35,50, across 131 fixed-price sales €35,02. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €23,05 and €36,93, with a median of €29,85. 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 €20,15. Offers well below €12,09 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: French €49,00 (21), German €25,58 (58), English €21,93 (86). French fetches about 123 % 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.
