A PSA 10 currently sells for about $161.49, raw the card sits at $27.02 — 6,0× as much. Of 2.788 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $85.16 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 105 auctions the median was $27.03, across 335 fixed-price sales $29.38. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $24.77 and $34.75, with a median of $29.36. 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 $19.07. Offers well below $11.44 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: English $27.80 (552), French $25.59 (12), Italian $22.45 (10). English fetches about 29 % 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.
