A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.139,37, raw the card sits at €157,88 — 13,6× as much. Of 2.529 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €692,55 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 42 auctions the median was €174,65, across 38 fixed-price sales €173,05. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €102,00 and €174,00, with a median of €138,29. 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 €81,06. Offers well below €48,64 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.
