A PSA 10 currently sells for about $14,888, raw the card sits at $130.01 — 114,5× as much. Of 6.235 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,134 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 113 auctions the median was $149.61, across 152 fixed-price sales $141.98. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $59.00 and $125.21, with a median of $81.81. 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 $39.29. Offers well below $23.57 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 $82.13 (87), French $45.11 (14). English fetches about 82 % 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.
