A PSA 10 currently sells for about $207.53, raw the card sits at $93.52 — 2,2× as much. Of 10.734 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $167.69 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 337 auctions the median was $108.87, across 711 fixed-price sales $117.86. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $93.52 and $119.94, with a median of $105.04. 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 $84.42. Offers well below $50.65 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 $199.19 (23), Italian $123.47 (30), German $112.25 (90). French fetches about 120 % 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.
