A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,475, raw the card sits at $340.01 — 4,3× as much. Of 102.630 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $693.06 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 656 auctions the median was $391.67, across 1017 fixed-price sales $395.84. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $333.81 and $403.07, with a median of $367.09. 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 $290.73. Offers well below $174.44 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 $448.00 (44), English $315.00 (1736), Italian $303.15 (28). French fetches about 58 % 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.
