A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.749,93, raw the card sits at €29,90 — 58,5× as much. Of 414 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €620,22 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 89 auctions the median was €9,03, across 171 fixed-price sales €8,53. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €5,56 and €12,50, with a median of €8,60. 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 €4,15. Offers well below €2,49 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 €13,51 (299), French €12,98 (30), German €7,09 (18). English fetches about 91 % 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.
