A PSA 10 currently sells for about €281,17, raw the card sits at €12,85 — 21,9× as much. Of 4.781 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €88,96 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 40 auctions the median was €11,26, across 85 fixed-price sales €11,00. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €7,00 and €13,12, with a median of €10,46. 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 €4,99. Offers well below €2,99 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.
