A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,342, raw the card sits at $320.85 — 10,4× as much. Of 588 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $508.48 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 $13.65, across 231 fixed-price sales $14.79. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $7.00 and $20.54, with a median of $12.21. 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 $5.13. 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 $12.54 (530), German $11.16 (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.
