A PSA 10 currently sells for about $85.53, raw the card sits at $4.94 — 17,3× as much. Of 13.832 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $58.87 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 43 auctions the median was $5.60, across 146 fixed-price sales $5.42. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $4.48 and $6.73, with a median of $5.34. 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 $3.45. Offers well below $2.07 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 $6.91 (32), German $6.79 (24), French $6.58 (42). Italian fetches about 43 % 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.
