A PSA 10 currently sells for about $15,328, raw the card sits at $754.72 — 20.3× as much. Of 976 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $3,711 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 48 auctions the median was $304.08, across 79 fixed-price sales $272.10. Auctions therefore fetched about 12 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $139.66 and $298.24, with a median of $220.10. 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 $76.03. Offers well below $45.62 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
