A PSA 10 currently sells for about €67,72, raw the card sits at €7,43 — 9,1× as much. Of 4.323 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €67,72 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 41 auctions the median was €7,50, across 145 fixed-price sales €6,21. Auctions therefore fetched about 21 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €5,13 and €7,90, with a median of €6,28. 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 €4,26. Offers well below €2,56 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 €9,67 (23), English €6,50 (178). Italian fetches about 49 % 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.
