A PSA 10 currently sells for about $128.49, raw the card sits at $10.82 — 11,9× as much. Of 2.435 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $95.38 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 119 auctions the median was $10.10, across 438 fixed-price sales $11.22. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.97 and $12.84, with a median of $10.74. 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 $5.87. Offers well below $3.52 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 $10.34 (539), French $7.50 (15), Italian $7.30 (20). English fetches about 105 % 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.
