A PSA 10 currently sells for about $642.33, raw the card sits at $212.12 — 3.0× as much. Of 14.465 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $435.05 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 221 auctions the median was $233.49, across 357 fixed-price sales $243.83. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $175.81 and $242.40, with a median of $207.89. 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 $122.95. Offers well below $73.77 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: Italian $254.96 (26), English $231.19 (401), German $111.49 (39). Italian fetches about 129 % 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.
