A PSA 10 currently sells for about €166,27, raw the card sits at €2,78 — 59,8× as much. Of 3.841 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 60 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €50,71 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 20 auctions the median was €11,04, across 59 fixed-price sales €3,79. Auctions therefore fetched about 191 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,95 and €4,40, with a median of €2,99. 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 €1,03. Offers well below €0,62 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 €4,73 (14), English €2,32 (44). German fetches about 104 % 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.
