A PSA 10 currently sells for about $318.52, raw the card sits at $17.62 — 18,1× as much. Of 5.845 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $139.24 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 70 auctions the median was $18.07, across 271 fixed-price sales $19.17. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $16.32 and $20.46, with a median of $18.42. 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 $14.18. Offers well below $8.51 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 $23.01 (41), English $16.39 (553). German fetches about 40 % 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.
