A PSA 10 currently sells for about €953,61, raw the card sits at €36,65 — 26,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €953,61 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.

Across 7 auctions the median was €114,14, across 22 fixed-price sales €57,46. Auctions therefore fetched about 99 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €24,96 and €41,93, with a median of €33,69. 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 €20,39. Offers well below €12,23 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.
