A PSA 10 currently sells for about $38.73, raw the card sits at $2.26 — 17,2× as much. Of 1.833 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $30.48 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 43 auctions the median was $3.36, across 163 fixed-price sales $2.29. Auctions therefore fetched about 47 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $1.73 and $2.83, with a median of $2.29. 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 $1.12. Offers well below $0.67 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: German $2.45 (24), French $2.29 (12), English $2.24 (168). 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.
