A PSA 10 currently sells for about $203.90, raw the card sits at $5.53 — 36,8× as much. Of 4.156 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $61.91 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 79 auctions the median was $5.40, across 413 fixed-price sales $5.89. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $4.92 and $7.18, with a median of $5.83. 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 $4.18. Offers well below $2.51 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 $11.91 (32), French $7.33 (19), English $5.88 (565). German fetches about 102 % 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.
