A PSA 10 currently sells for about $65.70, raw the card sits at $5.92 — 11,1× as much. Of 5.614 copies already graded, 67 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $51.43 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 359 auctions the median was $8.42, across 919 fixed-price sales $7.84. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $5.87 and $9.79, with a median of $7.30. 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 $4.86. Offers well below $2.92 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 $11.25 (33), German $6.25 (102), English $4.93 (1293). French fetches about 128 % 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.
