A PSA 10 currently sells for about $70.30, raw the card sits at $3.97 — 17.7× as much. Of 1.212 copies already graded, 77 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $59.86 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 165 auctions the median was $2.93, across 558 fixed-price sales $3.79. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.88 and $4.55, with a median of $3.55. 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 $2.18. Offers well below $1.31 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 $6.70 (39), German $5.02 (67), French $4.65 (16). Italian fetches about 118 % 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.
