A PSA 10 currently sells for about $160.73, raw the card sits at $11.83 — 13.6× as much. Of 8.195 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $61.29 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 331 auctions the median was $10.25, across 762 fixed-price sales $12.08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.84 and $13.12, with a median of $11.46. 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 $8.31. Offers well below $4.99 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 $20.73 (28), Italian $15.98 (21), English $11.83 (1096). French fetches about 106 % 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.
