A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.361,67, raw the card sits at €43,95 — 53,7× as much. Of 1.410 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €515,09 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 66 auctions the median was €27,91, across 171 fixed-price sales €28,34. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €15,77 and €36,08, with a median of €24,56. 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 €11,50. Offers well below €6,90 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 €31,68 (165), French €21,26 (10). English 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.
