A PSA 10 currently sells for about €92,10, raw the card sits at €1,45 — 63,5× as much. Of 1.803 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €57,04 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.

Half of all sales fell between €1,29 and €2,11, with a median of €1,62. 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 €1,00. Offers well below €0,60 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 €1,94 (15), Japanese €1,66 (11), French €1,62 (10). Italian fetches about 39 % 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.
