Cynthia's Ambition

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $100.70, raw the card sits at $22.38 — 4,5× as much. Of 7.141 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $66.00 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 65 auctions the median was $23.01, across 346 fixed-price sales $24.61. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.36 and $27.52, with a median of $23.08. 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 $17.75. Offers well below $10.65 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 $39.25 (12), German $31.82 (46), English $19.60 (414). French fetches about 100 % 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.
