A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,570, raw the card sits at $38.56 — 40,7× as much. Of 5.268 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $331.04 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 128 auctions the median was $58.53, across 143 fixed-price sales $56.99. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $30.03 and $58.17, with a median of $40.49. 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 $19.64. Offers well below $11.79 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: Italian $40.44 (11), English $39.18 (129). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
