A PSA 10 currently sells for about $551.52, raw the card sits at $240.52 — 2,3× as much. Of 14.603 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $394.26 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 143 auctions the median was $194.46, across 285 fixed-price sales $231.11. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $176.92 and $234.52, with a median of $200.00. 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 $134.70. Offers well below $80.82 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: Italian $211.32 (23), English $211.07 (363), German $134.70 (20). Italian fetches about 57 % 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.
