A PSA 10 currently sells for about $523.09, raw the card sits at $19.46 — 26.9× as much. Of 6.908 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $141.25 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 164 auctions the median was $18.81, across 630 fixed-price sales $20.17. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $17.10 and $23.21, with a median of $19.55. 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 $14.50. Offers well below $8.70 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 $23.77 (788), French $22.93 (45), German $22.30 (89). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
