A PSA 10 currently sells for about €238,43, raw the card sits at €45,60 — 5,2× as much. Of 11.072 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €157,55 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 70 auctions the median was €51,00, across 404 fixed-price sales €43,99. Auctions therefore fetched about 16 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €37,40 and €48,36, with a median of €43,28. 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 €32,06. Offers well below €19,24 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 €63,11 (45), English €46,49 (328), German €42,33 (22). Italian fetches about 49 % 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.
