A PSA 10 currently sells for about $114.99, raw the card sits at $10.35 — 11.1× as much. Of 20.099 copies already graded, 61 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $84.42 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 508 auctions the median was $18.66, across 754 fixed-price sales $12.18. Auctions therefore fetched about 53 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $8.50 and $12.56, with a median of $10.05. 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 $6.03. Offers well below $3.62 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: German $14.13 (18), French $12.34 (19), English $10.34 (940). German fetches about 37 % more.

Last Sold 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.
