A PSA 10 currently sells for about €441,82, raw the card sits at €2,43 — 181,8× as much. Of 50 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €110,07 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 21 auctions the median was €3,00, across 123 fixed-price sales €2,58. Auctions therefore fetched about 16 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,74 and €3,76, with a median of €2,48. 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 €1,20. Offers well below €0,72 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: German €3,47 (25), Italian €2,83 (19), English €1,85 (78). German fetches about 88 % 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.
