A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,728, raw the card sits at $79.26 — 97,5× as much. Of 1.535 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $869.84 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 196 auctions the median was $67.64, across 331 fixed-price sales $77.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $38.49 and $85.50, with a median of $61.74. 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 $22.45. Offers well below $13.47 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: English $67.24 (498), Italian $54.36 (29), German $38.60 (19). English fetches about 86 % 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.
