A PSA 10 currently sells for about €153,11, raw the card sits at €2,49 — 61,5× as much. Of 1.972 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €62,05 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 7 auctions the median was €4,38, across 78 fixed-price sales €2,94. Auctions therefore fetched about 49 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,95 and €3,46, with a median of €2,62. 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 €1,55. Offers well below €0,93 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 €3,50 (17), French €2,91 (16), English €2,31 (135). German fetches about 52 % 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.
