A PSA 10 currently sells for about $72.73, raw the card sits at $9.09 — 8,0× as much. Of 160 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $51.12 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 22 auctions the median was $4.91, across 138 fixed-price sales $4.84. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $3.69 and $6.80, with a median of $4.87. 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 $2.88. Offers well below $1.73 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.
