A PSA 10 currently sells for about $290.75, raw the card sits at $12.28 — 23,7× as much. Of 2.652 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $93.56 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 124 auctions the median was $11.48, across 574 fixed-price sales $12.46. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $10.12 and $14.44, with a median of $12.17. 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 $8.63. Offers well below $5.18 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 $16.84 (12), English $11.33 (811), German $10.11 (56). French fetches about 66 % 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.
