A PSA 10 currently sells for about $321.87, raw the card sits at $9.97 — 32.3× as much. Of 12.788 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $148.11 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 280 auctions the median was $12.49, across 847 fixed-price sales $11.97. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $9.37 and $14.27, with a median of $10.95. 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 $7.45. Offers well below $4.47 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 $25.67 (13), French $13.67 (25), Italian $11.90 (127). German fetches about 146 % more.

Last Sold 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.
