A PSA 10 currently sells for about $280.58, raw the card sits at $14.76 — 19,0× as much. Of 7.548 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $99.59 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 90 auctions the median was $14.59, across 391 fixed-price sales $16.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.38 and $17.95, with a median of $15.32. 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 $11.48. Offers well below $6.89 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 $33.66 (27), Italian $19.71 (14), English $14.76 (602). French fetches about 132 % 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.
