A PSA 10 currently sells for about €116,25, raw the card sits at €31,61 — 3,7× as much. Of 9.630 copies already graded, 72 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €94,75 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 73 auctions the median was €58,13, across 286 fixed-price sales €29,29. Auctions therefore fetched about 98 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €23,29 and €32,17, with a median of €27,15. 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 €19,99. Offers well below €11,99 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 €37,70 (28), English €26,97 (236), German €20,00 (15). Italian fetches about 89 % 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.
