N's PP Up

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $107.87, raw the card sits at $2.90 — 37.2× as much. Of 781 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $79.67 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 123 auctions the median was $1.95, across 684 fixed-price sales $3.02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 55 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.34 and $3.99, with a median of $3.12. 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 $1.72. Offers well below $1.03 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 $2.82 (50), English $2.64 (1065), French $2.58 (13). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
