A PSA 10 currently sells for about $151,622, raw the card sits at $14,790 — 10,3× as much. Of 1.532 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $11,345 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 37 auctions the median was $136.89, across 84 fixed-price sales $177.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $76.92 and $161.87, with a median of $104.57. 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 $57.62. Offers well below $34.57 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.
