A PSA 10 currently sells for about $734.06, raw the card sits at $16.23 — 45,2× as much. Of 410 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $168.67 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 33 auctions the median was $15.30, across 74 fixed-price sales $9.45. Auctions therefore fetched about 62 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $6.61 and $10.76, with a median of $8.26. 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 $4.68. Offers well below $2.81 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.
