A PSA 10 currently sells for about $236.19, raw the card sits at $86.79 — 2,7× as much. Of 19.211 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $180.23 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 280 auctions the median was $98.67, across 681 fixed-price sales $106.54. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $86.29 and $108.43, with a median of $96.43. 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 $74.59. Offers well below $44.75 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: French $181.76 (24), German $112.25 (37), Italian $105.60 (37). French fetches about 117 % 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.
