A PSA 10 currently sells for about $196.72, raw the card sits at $11.49 — 17,1× as much. Of 25.476 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $94.16 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 121 auctions the median was $16.19, across 299 fixed-price sales $16.84. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $10.37 and $19.64, with a median of $15.04. 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 $8.21. Offers well below $4.92 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 $24.12 (39), Italian $16.70 (22), English $12.64 (230). French fetches about 91 % 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.
