A PSA 10 currently sells for about $43.43, raw the card sits at $8.18 — 5.3× as much. Of 608 copies already graded, 74 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $36.39 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 180 auctions the median was $8.45, across 608 fixed-price sales $12.17. Fixed price therefore fetched about 44 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.47 and $13.60, with a median of $10.81. 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 $6.36. Offers well below $3.81 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 $8.20 (989), French $6.80 (24), German $6.20 (111). English fetches about 62 % 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.
