A PSA 10 currently sells for about €172,09, raw the card sits at €58,97 — 2,9× as much. Of 12.967 copies already graded, 71 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €143,55 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 118 auctions the median was €67,34, across 339 fixed-price sales €56,05. Auctions therefore fetched about 20 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €43,84 and €58,77, with a median of €51,83. 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 €37,61. Offers well below €22,57 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 €55,80 (383), German €50,00 (28). English fetches about 12 % 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.
