A PSA 10 currently sells for about $363.26, raw the card sits at $142.56 — 2,5× as much. Of 484 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $261.87 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 41 auctions the median was $77.98, across 71 fixed-price sales $105.67. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $57.78 and $138.39, with a median of $91.05. 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 $33.80. Offers well below $20.28 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
