A PSA 10 currently sells for about $6,177, raw the card sits at $70.23 — 88.0× as much. Of 1.050 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,121 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 75 auctions the median was $50.07, across 164 fixed-price sales $55.28. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $34.03 and $60.74, with a median of $44.69. 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 $22.27. Offers well below $13.36 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: Italian $61.10 (16), English $57.98 (204). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
