A PSA 10 currently sells for about $332.31, raw the card sits at $23.48 — 14.2× as much. Of 7.847 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $110.23 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 109 auctions the median was $21.95, across 391 fixed-price sales $20.64. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $18.53 and $24.15, with a median of $20.00. 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 $15.59. Offers well below $9.35 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 $22.82 (584), German $21.80 (79), French $20.71 (30). English fetches about 10 % 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.
