A PSA 10 currently sells for about $399.95, raw the card sits at $57.90 — 6,9× as much. Of 1.266 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $169.37 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 50 auctions the median was $38.47, across 139 fixed-price sales $41.13. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $28.80 and $44.96, with a median of $37.42. 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 $19.69. Offers well below $11.81 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 $44.92 (153), Japanese $24.11 (17). English fetches about 86 % 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.
