A PSA 10 currently sells for about $5,981, raw the card sits at $621.82 — 9,6× as much. Of 1.718 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,435 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 55 auctions the median was $195.51, across 115 fixed-price sales $234.94. 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 $124.01 and $243.45, with a median of $167.33. 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 $91.58. Offers well below $54.95 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 $256.82 (11), German $199.19 (13), English $140.87 (151). French fetches about 82 % 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.
