A PSA 10 currently sells for about $727.62, raw the card sits at $34.48 — 21.1× as much. Of 7.818 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $123.68 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 $37.30, across 557 fixed-price sales $40.61. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $34.37 and $45.56, with a median of $39.44. 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 $29.51. Offers well below $17.71 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 $56.09 (27), English $34.60 (753), Italian $33.81 (16). French fetches about 72 % 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.
