A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,497, raw the card sits at $254.66 — 9,8× as much. Of 13.842 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $609.62 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 211 auctions the median was $317.23, across 389 fixed-price sales $343.01. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $289.81 and $365.37, with a median of $329.95. 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 $251.11. Offers well below $150.67 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 $300.10 (36), French $269.52 (21), English $267.30 (611). Italian fetches about 16 % 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.
