A PSA 10 currently sells for about $86.84, raw the card sits at $32.55 — 2,7× as much. Of 2.830 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $60.52 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 82 auctions the median was $24.53, across 309 fixed-price sales $32.34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $24.34 and $34.10, with a median of $29.24. 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 $20.67. Offers well below $12.40 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 $32.46 (20), English $25.45 (439). German fetches about 28 % 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.
