A PSA 10 currently sells for about €234,56, raw the card sits at €15,81 — 14,8× as much. Of 11.384 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €135,85 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 332 auctions the median was €17,67, across 522 fixed-price sales €16,75. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €12,56 and €18,60, with a median of €15,14. 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 €9,77. Offers well below €5,86 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 €16,16 (92), German €15,99 (54), French €15,61 (115). Italian fetches about 16 % 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.
