A PSA 10 currently sells for about €484,33, raw the card sits at €33,53 — 14,4× as much. Of 1.398 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €226,17 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 44 auctions the median was €49,87, across 125 fixed-price sales €48,22. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €35,80 and €56,87, with a median of €46,21. 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 €27,90. Offers well below €16,74 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: English €42,94 (99), Japanese €35,00 (22). English fetches about 23 % 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.
