A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,967, raw the card sits at $88.22 — 45,0× as much. Of 503 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $549.97 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 44 auctions the median was $43.97, across 143 fixed-price sales $45.55. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $23.52 and $52.59, with a median of $36.19. 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 $14.48. Offers well below $8.69 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 $58.03 (212), German $44.69 (13). English fetches about 30 % 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.
