A PSA 10 currently sells for about $54.42, raw the card sits at $4.95 — 11.0× as much. Of 4.145 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $43.32 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 151 auctions the median was $5.63, across 484 fixed-price sales $5.92. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $4.82 and $7.08, with a median of $5.78. 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 $3.91. Offers well below $2.35 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: French $8.94 (17), German $7.14 (80), English $4.95 (778). French fetches about 81 % 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.
