A PSA 10 currently sells for about $839.72, raw the card sits at $12.06 — 69,7× as much. Of 466 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $376.74 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 67 auctions the median was $16.71, across 143 fixed-price sales $15.08. Auctions therefore fetched about 11 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $5.89 and $25.55, with a median of $9.60. 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 $4.18. Offers well below $2.51 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 $14.68 (12), English $11.86 (303). German fetches about 24 % 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.
