A PSA 10 currently sells for about $744.96, raw the card sits at $37.91 — 19,7× as much. Of 336 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $259.11 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 8 auctions the median was $36.54, across 34 fixed-price sales $34.90. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $17.84 and $35.49, with a median of $28.81. 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 $9.84. Offers well below $5.91 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
