A PSA 10 currently sells for about $230.10, raw the card sits at $71.64 — 3.2× as much. Of 20.100 copies already graded, 70 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $193.02 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 333 auctions the median was $104.81, across 590 fixed-price sales $111.66. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $73.49 and $103.93, with a median of $87.99. 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 $60.56. Offers well below $36.33 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 $94.11 (20), English $80.71 (658), German $68.60 (55). French fetches about 54 % 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.
