A PSA 10 currently sells for about $262.01, raw the card sits at $23.70 — 11.1× as much. Of 5.875 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $99.50 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 124 auctions the median was $24.28, across 421 fixed-price sales $23.78. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.53 and $27.00, with a median of $22.61. 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 $17.65. Offers well below $10.59 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 $32.33 (42), French $28.52 (15), Italian $27.58 (12). German fetches about 36 % 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.
