A PSA 10 currently sells for about $218.39, raw the card sits at $58.30 — 3,7× as much. Of 11.039 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $153.97 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 97 auctions the median was $81.94, across 350 fixed-price sales $75.50. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $57.85 and $77.54, with a median of $67.35. 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 $50.82. Offers well below $30.49 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 $116.65 (14), German $69.01 (12), English $60.26 (480). French fetches about 94 % 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.
