A PSA 10 currently sells for about $4,820, raw the card sits at $45.38 — 106,2× as much. Of 792 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $809.08 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 54 auctions the median was $32.61, across 104 fixed-price sales $34.08. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.68 and $39.29, with a median of $27.89. 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 $13.74. Offers well below $8.24 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 $55.89 (31), French $37.03 (15), English $27.04 (92). German fetches about 107 % more.

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.
