A PSA 10 currently sells for about €90,82, raw the card sits at €2,43 — 37,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €90,82 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.

Across 12 auctions the median was €2,86, across 80 fixed-price sales €1,97. Auctions therefore fetched about 45 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,48 and €2,23, with a median of €2,04. 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 €1,15. Offers well below €0,69 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 €2,07 (44), Japanese €2,07 (24), English €1,48 (47). French fetches about 50 % 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.
