A PSA 10 currently sells for about $33,451, raw the card sits at $160.94 — 207,8× as much. Of 2.193 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $4,230 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 50 auctions the median was $299.17, across 116 fixed-price sales $256.59. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $145.91 and $323.84, with a median of $201.50. 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 $104.79. Offers well below $62.87 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 $210.42 (145), Italian $75.59 (10). English fetches about 178 % 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.
