A PSA 10 currently sells for about €7.366,24, raw the card sits at €1.037,63 — 7,1× as much. Of 1.525 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €3.226,91 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 55 auctions the median was €1.355,79, across 59 fixed-price sales €730,99. Auctions therefore fetched about 85 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €243,47 and €699,00, with a median of €512,72. 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 €172,05. Offers well below €103,23 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.
