A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,340, raw the card sits at $68.91 — 34,0× as much. Of 640 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $645.95 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 74 auctions the median was $45.46, across 238 fixed-price sales $47.68. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $32.83 and $69.97, with a median of $44.89. 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 $20.20. Offers well below $12.12 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: English $64.54 (238), German $64.12 (48). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
