A PSA 10 currently sells for about €789,24, raw the card sits at €3,95 — 199,8× as much. Of 224 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €253,44 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 22 auctions the median was €6,00, across 39 fixed-price sales €4,24. Auctions therefore fetched about 42 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €3,52 and €6,89, with a median of €4,75. 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 €2,72. Offers well below €1,63 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 €5,47 (53), Japanese €4,34 (14). English fetches about 26 % 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.
