A PSA 10 currently sells for about $112.18, raw the card sits at $5.61 — 20,0× as much. Of 2.186 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $53.45 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 83 auctions the median was $4.49, across 382 fixed-price sales $5.38. 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 $4.16 and $6.25, with a median of $5.04. 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 $3.37. Offers well below $2.02 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 $9.04 (28), Italian $5.98 (50), English $4.95 (612). French fetches about 148 % 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.
