A PSA 10 currently sells for about $184.68, raw the card sits at $24.76 — 7,5× as much. Of 467 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $78.42 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 78 auctions the median was $13.43, across 301 fixed-price sales $21.51. Fixed price therefore fetched about 60 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.45 and $29.21, with a median of $19.76. 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 $9.00. Offers well below $5.40 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 $23.59 (337), Japanese $13.08 (67), German $8.59 (21). English fetches about 175 % 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.
