A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.382,65, raw the card sits at €12,46 — 271,5× as much. Of 497 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €722,69 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 46 auctions the median was €13,16, across 89 fixed-price sales €12,55. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €8,00 and €18,76, with a median of €11,44. 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 €4,37. Offers well below €2,62 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: English €16,27 (97), German €8,64 (15). English 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.
