A PSA 10 currently sells for about $78.41, raw the card sits at $16.75 — 4,7× as much. Of 13.511 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $59.41 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 336 auctions the median was $19.61, across 451 fixed-price sales $19.43. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $15.24 and $20.20, with a median of $17.63. 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 $13.10. Offers well below $7.86 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 $25.84 (22), Italian $17.96 (20), English $16.55 (832). French fetches about 70 % 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.
