A PSA 10 currently sells for about $112.97, raw the card sits at $19.03 — 5.9× as much. Of 8.138 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $80.80 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 101 auctions the median was $22.53, across 387 fixed-price sales $25.40. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $19.25 and $26.14, with a median of $21.28. 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 $17.17. Offers well below $10.30 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 $25.13 (18), Italian $23.65 (28), German $22.93 (25). French fetches about 32 % 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.
