A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,575, raw the card sits at $33.88 — 46,5× as much. Of 2.941 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $361.14 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 39 auctions the median was $34.24, across 51 fixed-price sales $31.35. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $10.78 and $34.27, with a median of $21.92. 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 $7.30. Offers well below $4.38 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 $27.78 (54), French $27.32 (12). 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.
