A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.226,35, raw the card sits at €43,38 — 28,3× as much. Of 89 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €198,87 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.

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.
