A PSA 10 currently sells for about $676.58, raw the card sits at $30.60 — 22,1× as much. Of 4.587 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $239.07 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 49 auctions the median was $33.14, across 79 fixed-price sales $35.98. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $26.47 and $41.88, with a median of $33.66. 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 $22.44. Offers well below $13.46 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: French $67.31 (12), German $39.28 (13), Italian $35.06 (54). French fetches about 122 % 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.
