A PSA 10 currently sells for about $809.11, raw the card sits at $29.61 — 27,3× as much. Of 644 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $232.85 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 43 auctions the median was $20.22, across 85 fixed-price sales $20.61. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $12.26 and $25.58, with a median of $16.92. 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 $7.98. Offers well below $4.79 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: English $27.66 (165), German $23.07 (26). English fetches about 20 % 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.
