A PSA 10 currently sells for about $72.96, raw the card sits at $5.02 — 14,5× as much. Of 3.465 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $49.66 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 54 auctions the median was $4.70, across 195 fixed-price sales $4.84. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $3.87 and $5.41, with a median of $4.55. 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 $3.14. Offers well below $1.89 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 $4.93 (375), German $4.49 (13). English fetches about 10 % 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.
