A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.267,35, raw the card sits at €411,63 — 5,5× as much. Of 3.980 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €788,55 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 99 auctions the median was €289,94, across 147 fixed-price sales €271,22. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €162,50 and €284,78, with a median of €219,64. 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 €134,25. Offers well below €80,55 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 €216,88 (142), German €149,92 (14). English fetches about 45 % 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.
