A PSA 10 currently sells for about $98.75, raw the card sits at $7.05 — 14,0× as much. Of 3.645 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $72.44 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 40 auctions the median was $9.25, across 158 fixed-price sales $6.91. Auctions therefore fetched about 34 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $5.22 and $6.81, with a median of $5.77. 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 $4.35. Offers well below $2.61 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 $10.83 (10), German $6.13 (20), English $5.48 (308). French 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.
