A PSA 10 currently sells for about $347.88, raw the card sits at $45.99 — 7.6× as much. Of 998 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $236.67 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 96 auctions the median was $34.90, across 273 fixed-price sales $39.42. 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 $29.56 and $43.10, with a median of $35.26. 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 $24.11. Offers well below $14.46 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 $46.00 (362), Italian $38.89 (10), German $28.07 (12). English fetches about 64 % 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.
