A PSA 10 currently sells for about $161.77, raw the card sits at $7.90 — 20,5× as much. Of 568 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $82.49 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 126 auctions the median was $4.82, across 423 fixed-price sales $5.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.93 and $9.20, with a median of $5.61. 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 $2.46. Offers well below $1.47 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 $7.98 (17), French $5.50 (12), German $5.49 (51). Italian 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.
