A PSA 10 currently sells for about $279.86, raw the card sits at $22.25 — 12,6× as much. Of 11.745 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $91.10 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 339 auctions the median was $22.82, across 956 fixed-price sales $24.60. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.27 and $27.85, with a median of $23.15. 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 $14.86. Offers well below $8.91 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: Italian $22.18 (17), English $19.55 (1158), German $14.78 (143). Italian fetches about 92 % 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.
