A PSA 10 currently sells for about €381,58, raw the card sits at €14,52 — 26,3× as much. Of 2.935 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €121,53 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 29 auctions the median was €10,01, across 66 fixed-price sales €10,55. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €5,16 and €16,61, with a median of €8,75. 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 €3,50. Offers well below €2,10 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: French €15,92 (11), English €7,82 (62). French fetches about 104 % 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.
