A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.692,56, raw the card sits at €150,70 — 11,2× as much. Of 12.368 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €475,61 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 10 auctions the median was €133,65, across 31 fixed-price sales €129,00. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €83,69 and €142,25, with a median of €106,95. 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 €68,12. Offers well below €40,87 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.
