A PSA 10 currently sells for about $665.02, raw the card sits at $53.99 — 12,3× as much. Of 9.819 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $298.55 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 281 auctions the median was $76.51, across 486 fixed-price sales $78.56. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $42.15 and $81.45, with a median of $57.95. 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 $31.42. Offers well below $18.85 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: French $108.29 (15), Italian $43.99 (26), English $41.09 (842). French fetches about 176 % 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.
