A PSA 10 currently sells for about $207.36, raw the card sits at $42.38 — 4.9× as much. Of 8.272 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $107.60 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 226 auctions the median was $41.40, across 495 fixed-price sales $45.01. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $32.48 and $48.33, with a median of $39.96. 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 $23.42. Offers well below $14.05 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 $43.03 (428), French $35.60 (12), German $23.35 (35). English fetches about 84 % more.

Last Sold 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.
