A PSA 10 currently sells for about $78.80, raw the card sits at $13.95 — 5.6× as much. Of 3.037 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $56.33 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 94 auctions the median was $13.02, across 296 fixed-price sales $18.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 43 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.66 and $19.50, with a median of $16.39. 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 $10.46. Offers well below $6.28 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: French $19.07 (13), Italian $17.73 (12), German $17.11 (19). French fetches about 28 % 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.
