A PSA 10 currently sells for about $724.78, raw the card sits at $34.45 — 21,0× as much. Of 7.749 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $138.24 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 247 auctions the median was $37.15, across 564 fixed-price sales $40.44. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $34.24 and $45.43, with a median of $39.29. 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 $29.27. Offers well below $17.56 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: French $55.92 (28), English $34.46 (756), German $32.54 (83). French fetches about 111 % 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.
