A PSA 10 currently sells for about $244.62, raw the card sits at $114.37 — 2,1× as much. Of 6.170 copies already graded, 74 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $209.75 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 123 auctions the median was $61.77, across 251 fixed-price sales $86.79. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $52.19 and $81.09, with a median of $65.33. 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 $34.44. Offers well below $20.66 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 $73.36 (299), French $54.99 (10), German $30.61 (10). English fetches about 140 % 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.
