A PSA 10 currently sells for about $345.81, raw the card sits at $141.64 — 2,4× as much. Of 11.654 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $274.28 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 389 auctions the median was $184.06, across 778 fixed-price sales $197.01. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $149.80 and $197.01, with a median of $172.24. 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 $134.33. Offers well below $80.60 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 $315.38 (34), Italian $224.51 (38), German $213.27 (121). French fetches about 123 % 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.
