A PSA 10 currently sells for about $58.44, raw the card sits at $2.50 — 23,3× as much. Of 1.574 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $41.54 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 8 auctions the median was $2.55, across 134 fixed-price sales $2.47. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $1.94 and $3.12, with a median of $2.39. 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 $1.44. Offers well below $0.86 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 $2.36 (327), German $1.99 (18). English fetches about 19 % 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.
