A PSA 10 currently sells for about €338,98, raw the card sits at €150,13 — 2,3× as much. Of 21.973 copies already graded, 58 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €264,78 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 185 auctions the median was €128,12, across 301 fixed-price sales €164,89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €93,05 and €150,46, with a median of €120,90. 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 €52,98. Offers well below €31,79 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: English €130,06 (295), German €80,06 (11). English fetches about 62 % 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.
