A PSA 10 currently sells for about $68.24, raw the card sits at $13.29 — 5,1× as much. Of 10.027 copies already graded, 61 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $51.27 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 161 auctions the median was $14.01, across 552 fixed-price sales $14.29. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $11.62 and $15.87, with a median of $13.43. 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 $9.70. Offers well below $5.82 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: French $25.40 (19), Italian $21.77 (19), German $16.86 (92). French fetches about 91 % 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.
