A PSA 10 currently sells for about $196.08, raw the card sits at $40.14 — 4,9× as much. Of 27.573 copies already graded, 57 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $134.29 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 219 auctions the median was $57.25, across 626 fixed-price sales $52.36. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $42.10 and $55.13, with a median of $48.22. 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 $38.36. Offers well below $23.01 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 $104.68 (19), German $67.35 (42), Italian $48.69 (22). French fetches about 168 % 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.
