A PSA 10 currently sells for about $713.19, raw the card sits at $309.50 — 2,3× as much. Of 34.461 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $513.24 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 376 auctions the median was $313.18, across 491 fixed-price sales $335.31. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $220.86 and $313.18, with a median of $275.32. 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 $159.39. Offers well below $95.64 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 $282.63 (493), Italian $268.59 (25), French $258.16 (15). English fetches about 59 % 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.
