A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.472,85, raw the card sits at €1.164,00 — 2,1× as much. Of 23.095 copies already graded, 68 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.041,85 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 301 auctions the median was €1.070,73, across 402 fixed-price sales €1.177,29. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €638,70 and €1.030,40, with a median of €816,83. 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 €450,00. Offers well below €270,00 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 €909,92 (366), French €840,04 (16), German €578,13 (13). English fetches about 57 % 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.
