A PSA 10 currently sells for about $135.76, raw the card sits at $12.77 — 10,6× as much. Of 44.796 copies already graded, 57 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $89.95 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 64 auctions the median was $16.29, across 294 fixed-price sales $16.83. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $12.77 and $20.31, with a median of $16.29. 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 $10.65. Offers well below $6.39 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 $36.56 (25), Italian $15.66 (32), German $14.59 (75). French fetches about 196 % 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.
