A PSA 10 currently sells for about $6,938, raw the card sits at $335.38 — 20,7× as much. Of 1.479 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,323 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 71 auctions the median was $155.59, across 174 fixed-price sales $145.60. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $59.00 and $152.57, with a median of $104.39. 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 $35.54. Offers well below $21.32 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 $134.68 (219), German $44.89 (33). English fetches about 200 % 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.
