A PSA 10 currently sells for about $268.54, raw the card sits at $104.38 — 2,6× as much. Of 2.675 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $175.40 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 454 auctions the median was $105.23, across 820 fixed-price sales $112.99. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $77.83 and $112.73, with a median of $92.99. 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 $64.47. Offers well below $38.68 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.
