A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,911, raw the card sits at $648.78 — 6,0× as much. Of 1.244 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,275 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 20 auctions the median was $194.62, across 78 fixed-price sales $294.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 51 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $115.19 and $283.52, with a median of $194.62. 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 $56.12. Offers well below $33.67 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: English $278.53 (71), German $226.06 (12). English fetches about 23 % 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.
