A PSA 10 currently sells for about $331.00, raw the card sits at $62.53 — 5,3× as much. Of 11.944 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $218.87 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 173 auctions the median was $73.79, across 433 fixed-price sales $93.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $68.74 and $93.99, with a median of $79.11. 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 $57.93. Offers well below $34.76 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 $116.23 (10), German $80.64 (35), English $74.39 (507). French fetches about 56 % 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.
