A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,133, raw the card sits at $585.20 — 1,9× as much. Of 20.022 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $815.07 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 234 auctions the median was $466.61, across 483 fixed-price sales $521.35. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $338.94 and $495.87, with a median of $420.74. 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 $259.85. Offers well below $155.91 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 $527.70 (18), English $526.54 (476), Italian $372.47 (24). French fetches about 67 % 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.
