A PSA 10 currently sells for about $502.22, raw the card sits at $14.51 — 34,6× as much. Of 755 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $171.12 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 12 auctions the median was $39.46, across 18 fixed-price sales $19.53. Auctions therefore fetched about 102 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $14.56 and $19.53, with a median of $17.17. 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 $9.99. Offers well below $5.99 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.
