A PSA 10 currently sells for about $293.63, raw the card sits at $28.86 — 10.2× as much. Of 3.541 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $135.87 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 105 auctions the median was $23.90, across 275 fixed-price sales $25.29. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.44 and $28.93, with a median of $23.40. 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 $15.09. Offers well below $9.05 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 $23.18 (23), English $23.02 (377). 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.
