Misty's Tears

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,236, raw the card sits at $51.88 — 23,8× as much. Of 601 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $390.67 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 36 auctions the median was $45.93, across 62 fixed-price sales $47.96. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $31.77 and $52.87, with a median of $43.62. 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 $24.14. Offers well below $14.49 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.
