A PSA 10 currently sells for about $216.18, raw the card sits at $6.18 — 35.0× as much. Of 1.765 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $77.12 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 152 auctions the median was $6.10, across 584 fixed-price sales $6.89. 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 $5.41 and $8.21, with a median of $6.61. 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 $4.39. Offers well below $2.63 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 $13.77 (21), German $11.22 (33), English $6.93 (843). French fetches about 99 % more.

Last Sold 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.
