A PSA 10 currently sells for about $338.16, raw the card sits at $6.89 — 49,1× as much. Of 987 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $130.94 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 51 auctions the median was $7.84, across 241 fixed-price sales $7.85. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $6.73 and $9.82, with a median of $7.78. 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 $5.55. Offers well below $3.33 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: German $7.86 (10), Italian $7.75 (11), English $6.41 (328). German fetches about 23 % 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.
