Rare Candy

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $64.14, raw the card sits at $5.88 — 10,9× as much. Of 1.066 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $34.55 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 69 auctions the median was $4.29, across 172 fixed-price sales $7.02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 64 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.29 and $8.26, with a median of $6.75. 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 $3.88. Offers well below $2.33 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 $5.41 (362), German $3.95 (39). English fetches about 37 % 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.
