A PSA 10 currently sells for about $572.36, raw the card sits at $56.10 — 10,2× as much. Of 166 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $217.96 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 31 auctions the median was $51.02, across 43 fixed-price sales $51.58. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $29.39 and $52.40, with a median of $39.27. 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 $21.89. Offers well below $13.13 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.
