A PSA 10 currently sells for about $386.38, raw the card sits at $119.01 — 3,2× as much. Of 46.860 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $184.40 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 393 auctions the median was $99.06, across 772 fixed-price sales $117.85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $88.87 and $117.36, with a median of $99.17. 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 $81.43. Offers well below $48.86 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 $147.10 (12), Italian $134.69 (15), English $100.92 (1370). French fetches about 50 % 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.
