A PSA 10 currently sells for about $115.62, raw the card sits at $58.01 — 2,0× as much. Of 2.060 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $224.17 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 32 auctions the median was $50.14, across 36 fixed-price sales $36.09. Auctions therefore fetched about 39 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $14.58 and $57.93, with a median of $33.62. 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 $8.98. Offers well below $5.39 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: English $55.47 (10), French $28.07 (16). English fetches about 98 % 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.
