A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,859, raw the card sits at $305.52 — 6,1× as much. Of 430 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $370.35 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 16 auctions the median was $37.27, across 27 fixed-price sales $92.44. Fixed price therefore fetched about 148 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $37.27 and $88.04, with a median of $57.84. 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 $18.52. Offers well below $11.11 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.
