A PSA 10 currently sells for about $313.85, raw the card sits at $91.99 — 3,4× as much. Of 34.319 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $183.98 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 407 auctions the median was $99.41, across 924 fixed-price sales $109.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $87.09 and $111.13, with a median of $98.27. 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 $72.96. Offers well below $43.78 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 $88.59 (1079), French $82.51 (29), Italian $78.62 (24). English fetches about 44 % 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.
