A PSA 10 currently sells for about $542.78, raw the card sits at $164.17 — 3,3× as much. Of 1.986 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $329.79 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 49 auctions the median was $107.63, across 143 fixed-price sales $129.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $96.04 and $139.78, with a median of $117.19. 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 $76.76. Offers well below $46.05 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: Italian $139.74 (10), English $127.03 (194). Italian fetches about 10 % 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.
