A PSA 10 currently sells for about $64.85, raw the card sits at $12.35 — 5,3× as much. Of 1.512 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $38.33 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 7 auctions the median was $19.57, across 59 fixed-price sales $7.11. Auctions therefore fetched about 175 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $4.74 and $7.78, with a median of $6.05. 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 $3.84. Offers well below $2.30 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 $7.76 (65), German $5.25 (21). English fetches about 48 % 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.
