Erika's Invitation

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $97.88, raw the card sits at $19.37 — 5,1× as much. Of 18.403 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $43.46 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 287 auctions the median was $19.46, across 574 fixed-price sales $23.51. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $16.65 and $24.01, with a median of $19.69. 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 $14.13. Offers well below $8.48 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 $31.43 (67), Italian $23.01 (22), French $20.96 (19). German 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.
