A PSA 10 currently sells for about $623.78, raw the card sits at $60.85 — 10,3× as much. Of 250 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $366.89 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 21 auctions the median was $32.57, across 45 fixed-price sales $35.19. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.40 and $38.93, with a median of $27.56. 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 $12.35. Offers well below $7.41 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
