A PSA 10 currently sells for about €502,65, raw the card sits at €45,50 — 11,0× as much. Of 14.865 copies already graded, 33 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €231,39 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 119 auctions the median was €49,50, across 386 fixed-price sales €46,50. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €39,06 and €50,00, with a median of €43,67. 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 €34,88. Offers well below €20,93 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 €55,99 (46), French €55,98 (32), Italian €43,23 (23). German fetches about 34 % 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.
