A PSA 10 currently sells for about $231.03, raw the card sits at $9.17 — 25,2× as much. Of 520 copies already graded, 75 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $194.14 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 326 auctions the median was $12.93, across 938 fixed-price sales $15.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $10.79 and $18.13, with a median of $14.14. 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 $8.82. Offers well below $5.29 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 $13.35 (65), Italian $10.48 (14), English $9.81 (1357). French fetches about 59 % 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.
