Red & Blue

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $542.81, raw the card sits at $186.46 — 2,9× as much. Of 2.670 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $382.82 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 36 auctions the median was $247.74, across 93 fixed-price sales $221.90. Auctions therefore fetched about 12 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $137.05 and $209.54, with a median of $172.99. 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 $102.79. Offers well below $61.67 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: Italian $233.46 (11), English $178.11 (98). Italian fetches about 31 % 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.
