A PSA 10 currently sells for about $625.23, raw the card sits at $16.04 — 39,0× as much. Of 2.368 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $206.13 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 99 auctions the median was $21.00, across 114 fixed-price sales $20.90. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $12.91 and $26.10, with a median of $17.14. 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 $6.38. Offers well below $3.83 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.
