A PSA 10 currently sells for about €251,70, raw the card sits at €79,76 — 3,2× as much. Of 20.629 copies already graded, 70 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €206,98 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 174 auctions the median was €102,76, across 424 fixed-price sales €87,49. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €64,58 and €92,99, with a median of €78,72. 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 €55,00. Offers well below €33,00 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 €92,79 (14), English €83,70 (445), German €50,31 (38). French fetches about 84 % 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.
