A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,268, raw the card sits at $119.23 — 19,0× as much. Of 596 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $713.47 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 35 auctions the median was $76.16, across 88 fixed-price sales $70.55. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $35.88 and $73.06, with a median of $52.93. 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 $28.68. Offers well below $17.21 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
