A PSA 10 currently sells for about €242,80, raw the card sits at €9,69 — 25,1× as much. Of 689 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €66,34 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 128 auctions the median was €5,58, across 237 fixed-price sales €5,86. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €3,90 and €8,06, with a median of €5,43. 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 €2,61. Offers well below €1,57 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 €11,98 (27), French €7,80 (32), English €4,90 (286). German fetches about 144 % 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.
