A PSA 10 currently sells for about €486,86, raw the card sits at €51,15 — 9,5× as much. Of 8.975 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €311,05 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 38 auctions the median was €134,73, across 77 fixed-price sales €109,31. Auctions therefore fetched about 23 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €19,08 and €96,00, with a median of €45,50. 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 €13,10. Offers well below €7,86 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 €93,71 (34), English €77,12 (43). Italian fetches about 22 % 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.
