Erika's Invitation

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $59.09, raw the card sits at $7.88 — 7,5× as much. Of 6.417 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $33.74 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 159 auctions the median was $10.10, across 494 fixed-price sales $10.79. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $7.71 and $13.34, with a median of $9.79. 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 $6.21. Offers well below $3.72 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: German $13.28 (58), French $11.81 (29), Japanese $9.83 (99). German fetches about 69 % 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.
