Colress's Tenacity

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $42.09, raw the card sits at $5.93 — 7.1× as much. Of 235 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $42.09 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 36 auctions the median was $2.91, across 189 fixed-price sales $5.93. Fixed price therefore fetched about 104 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.38 and $6.70, with a median of $5.63. 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 $3.16. 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 $5.50 (304), German $3.45 (24). English fetches about 59 % 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.
