A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,007, raw the card sits at $114.82 — 8,8× as much. Of 297 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $287.14 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 11 auctions the median was $63.23, across 35 fixed-price sales $64.71. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $46.66 and $76.23, with a median of $58.68. 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 $37.00. Offers well below $22.20 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
