A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,676, raw the card sits at $117.71 — 65,2× as much. Of 2.056 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $968.44 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 46 auctions the median was $61.51, across 141 fixed-price sales $59.05. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $31.13 and $69.17, with a median of $49.88. 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 $19.19. Offers well below $11.52 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 $76.20 (13), English $54.00 (235). German fetches about 41 % 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.
