A PSA 10 currently sells for about $4,067, raw the card sits at $230.01 — 17,7× as much. Of 926 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,494 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 32 auctions the median was $148.27, across 96 fixed-price sales $157.16. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $64.14 and $168.06, with a median of $115.94. 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 $42.72. Offers well below $25.63 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.
