A PSA 10 currently sells for about €21.499,00, raw the card sits at €607,68 — 35,4× as much. Of 975 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €4.833,27 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 42 auctions the median was €408,11, across 91 fixed-price sales €249,00. Auctions therefore fetched about 64 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €129,25 and €288,54, with a median of €210,95. 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 €79,00. Offers well below €47,40 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 €231,76 (80), German €170,69 (15). English fetches about 36 % 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.
