A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,443, raw the card sits at $162.53 — 15,0× as much. Of 1.125 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $649.49 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 $128.35, across 112 fixed-price sales $118.11. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $63.94 and $129.70, with a median of $87.58. 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 $41.76. Offers well below $25.05 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 $146.14 (117), German $80.14 (12). English fetches about 82 % 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.
