A PSA 10 currently sells for about $152.91, raw the card sits at $18.91 — 8,1× as much. Of 17.075 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $103.30 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 26 auctions the median was $17.70, across 123 fixed-price sales $18.82. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $14.59 and $20.98, with a median of $17.40. 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 $12.34. Offers well below $7.40 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 $19.58 (19), English $18.89 (92), German $16.84 (49). Italian fetches about 55 % 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.
