A PSA 10 currently sells for about $146.54, raw the card sits at $4.84 — 30,3× as much. Of 587 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $101.01 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 12 auctions the median was $4.50, across 146 fixed-price sales $4.89. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $3.90 and $5.86, with a median of $4.82. 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 $3.46. Offers well below $2.07 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 (19), English $4.60 (244). German fetches about 71 % 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.
