A PSA 10 currently sells for about $4,014, raw the card sits at $76.17 — 52,7× as much. Of 710 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $778.83 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 48 auctions the median was $77.63, across 109 fixed-price sales $80.69. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $37.96 and $86.30, with a median of $59.08. 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 $22.73. Offers well below $13.64 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 $79.11 (171), German $56.69 (10). English fetches about 40 % 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.
