A PSA 10 currently sells for about $67.88, raw the card sits at $11.71 — 5,8× as much. Of 2.987 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $44.28 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 69 auctions the median was $10.10, across 231 fixed-price sales $14.60. Fixed price therefore fetched about 45 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.45 and $15.57, with a median of $13.10. 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 $8.26. Offers well below $4.96 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 $15.86 (17), English $12.64 (316), German $9.28 (24). Italian fetches about 71 % 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.
