A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,600, raw the card sits at $100.24 — 75.8× as much. Of 6.893 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,801 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 188 auctions the median was $325.70, across 221 fixed-price sales $343.72. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $126.03 and $338.69, with a median of $241.46. 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 $68.56. Offers well below $41.14 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: German $280.62 (12), English $261.34 (281), Italian $186.53 (11). German fetches about 50 % more.

Last Sold 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.
