A PSA 10 currently sells for about $418.76, raw the card sits at $81.43 — 5,1× as much. Of 11.156 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $276.10 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 182 auctions the median was $74.08, across 414 fixed-price sales $81.22. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $65.87 and $83.50, with a median of $75.16. 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 $53.24. Offers well below $31.94 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 $74.42 (631), French $72.20 (27), German $53.07 (54). English fetches about 40 % 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.
