A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,738, raw the card sits at $44.34 — 39,2× as much. Of 1.413 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $375.02 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 $32.36, across 122 fixed-price sales $24.80. Auctions therefore fetched about 31 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $14.78 and $36.63, with a median of $24.78. 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 $5.86. Offers well below $3.52 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 $36.72 (11), English $28.81 (164). German fetches about 27 % 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.
