A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,242, raw the card sits at $58.81 — 21.1× as much. Of 5.755 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $347.94 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 83 auctions the median was $68.40, across 235 fixed-price sales $54.05. Auctions therefore fetched about 27 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $41.90 and $58.38, with a median of $48.52. 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 $35.86. Offers well below $21.51 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: Italian $70.65 (14), English $51.98 (367). Italian fetches about 36 % 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.
