A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,817, raw the card sits at $45.46 — 62,0× as much. Of 1.940 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $480.87 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 100 auctions the median was $38.33, across 243 fixed-price sales $48.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $26.43 and $50.06, with a median of $36.12. 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 $19.14. Offers well below $11.48 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.
