Clemont's Quick Wit

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €36,80, raw the card sits at €2,03 — 18,1× as much. Of 664 copies already graded, 36 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €22,52 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 69 auctions the median was €1,36, across 95 fixed-price sales €2,08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €1,55 and €2,78, with a median of €1,97. 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 €1,08. Offers well below €0,65 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: German €2,57 (16), French €2,33 (18), English €1,85 (230). German fetches about 39 % 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.
