A PSA 10 currently sells for about $449.00, raw the card sits at $14.05 — 31,9× as much. Of 143 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $158.20 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 11 auctions the median was $14.37, across 98 fixed-price sales $10.79. Auctions therefore fetched about 33 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $7.62 and $15.04, with a median of $9.84. 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 $4.43. Offers well below $2.66 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
