A PSA 10 currently sells for about €202,92, raw the card sits at €4,35 — 46,6× as much. Of 2.300 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €77,15 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 123 auctions the median was €4,65, across 258 fixed-price sales €4,25. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €2,34 and €5,11, with a median of €3,50. 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 €1,36. Offers well below €0,82 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 €4,95 (12), German €2,85 (70), English €2,70 (212). Italian fetches about 83 % 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.
