A PSA 10 currently sells for about €67,08, raw the card sits at €7,43 — 9,0× as much. Of 10.662 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €50,26 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 247 auctions the median was €9,12, across 474 fixed-price sales €8,82. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €6,88 and €9,48, with a median of €8,00. 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 €6,00. Offers well below €3,60 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: Italian €8,74 (63), German €8,59 (56), French €8,33 (86). Italian fetches about 17 % 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.
