A PSA 10 currently sells for about $180.68, raw the card sits at $64.93 — 2.8× as much. Of 7.806 copies already graded, 58 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $133.60 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 193 auctions the median was $61.96, across 471 fixed-price sales $70.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $55.29 and $72.96, with a median of $63.71. 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 $47.09. Offers well below $28.26 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: French $78.77 (18), English $65.03 (582), German $53.08 (28). French fetches about 48 % more.

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.
