A PSA 10 currently sells for about €6.578,18, raw the card sits at €1.845,01 — 3,6× as much. Of 970 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €3.215,45 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 34 auctions the median was €1.069,50, across 21 fixed-price sales €1.050,48. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €372,94 and €966,86, with a median of €601,53. 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 €309,63. Offers well below €185,78 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
