A PSA 10 currently sells for about €604,53, raw the card sits at €41,85 — 14,4× as much. Of 19.738 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €204,99 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 79 auctions the median was €44,82, across 250 fixed-price sales €42,13. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €35,16 and €46,50, with a median of €41,84. 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 €29,76. Offers well below €17,86 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 €44,94 (254), Italian €42,94 (23), French €39,90 (30). English fetches about 21 % 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.
