A PSA 10 currently sells for about €400,01, raw the card sits at €403,16 — 1,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €400,01 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.

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.
