A PSA 10 currently sells for about $70.61, raw the card sits at $6.59 — 10,7× as much. Of 2.218 copies already graded, 77 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $60.75 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 373 auctions the median was $7.91, across 943 fixed-price sales $8.85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.87 and $10.66, with a median of $8.61. 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 $5.61. Offers well below $3.37 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 $8.98 (115), French $7.90 (44), English $6.40 (1365). German fetches about 196 % 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.
