A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.158,77, raw the card sits at €976,50 — 2,2× as much. Of 4.139 copies already graded, 68 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €1.765,24 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 549 auctions the median was €984,02, across 773 fixed-price sales €1.123,87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €831,51 and €1.160,08, with a median of €970,02. 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 €674,25. Offers well below €404,55 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 €982,61 (864), French €880,00 (36), Italian €779,90 (80). English fetches about 31 % 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.
