Time-Space Distortion

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $22,758, raw the card sits at $24.54 — 927,5× as much. Of 476 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,585 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 44 auctions the median was $44.90, across 81 fixed-price sales $43.40. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $24.68 and $53.50, with a median of $38.92. 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 $19.35. Offers well below $11.61 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 $48.08 (12), English $28.44 (127). German fetches about 69 % 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.
