A PSA 10 currently sells for about $190.87, raw the card sits at $57.57 — 3,3× as much. Of 26.571 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $104.73 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 419 auctions the median was $47.22, across 682 fixed-price sales $49.20. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $39.22 and $52.87, with a median of $45.46. 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 $34.35. Offers well below $20.61 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: Italian $70.41 (16), French $64.22 (23), English $43.15 (953). Italian fetches about 80 % 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.
