A PSA 10 currently sells for about €15.368,11, raw the card sits at €835,11 — 18,4× as much. Of 12.964 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.878,85 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 204 auctions the median was €986,76, across 193 fixed-price sales €835,14. Auctions therefore fetched about 18 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €325,50 and €680,78, with a median of €519,55. 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 €180,98. Offers well below €108,59 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.
