A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,348, raw the card sits at $321.45 — 10,4× as much. Of 588 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $509.43 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 84 auctions the median was $13.67, across 231 fixed-price sales $14.82. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $7.02 and $20.58, with a median of $12.24. 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 $5.14. Offers well below $3.08 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: English $12.56 (530), German $11.18 (34). English fetches about 12 % 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.
