A PSA 10 currently sells for about $586.09, raw the card sits at $49.78 — 11,8× as much. Of 24.326 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $222.97 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 212 auctions the median was $49.08, across 567 fixed-price sales $52.36. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $41.64 and $55.82, with a median of $48.58. 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 $32.55. Offers well below $19.53 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 $46.99 (766), Italian $39.18 (43), French $35.74 (47). English fetches about 67 % 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.
