A PSA 10 currently sells for about €160,90, raw the card sits at €8,01 — 20,1× as much. Of 3.116 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €63,41 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 45 auctions the median was €7,60, across 177 fixed-price sales €6,99. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €5,69 and €8,74, with a median of €6,95. 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 €4,73. Offers well below €2,84 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 €9,99 (20), Italian €8,36 (60), French €7,20 (20). German fetches about 43 % 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.
