A PSA 10 currently sells for about $438.32, raw the card sits at $21.83 — 20,1× as much. Of 7.852 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $139.45 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 163 auctions the median was $18.90, across 648 fixed-price sales $19.71. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $16.88 and $22.63, with a median of $19.52. 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 $14.48. Offers well below $8.69 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 $19.54 (777), French $17.43 (37), German $15.71 (89). English fetches about 34 % 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.
