A PSA 10 currently sells for about $223.13, raw the card sits at $76.90 — 2.9× as much. Of 5.059 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $112.51 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 129 auctions the median was $57.07, across 333 fixed-price sales $69.16. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $56.33 and $72.45, with a median of $63.60. 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 $50.34. Offers well below $30.20 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 $60.09 (477), German $56.33 (15). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
