A PSA 10 currently sells for about $77.92, raw the card sits at $3.66 — 21,3× as much. Of 846 copies already graded, 36 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $36.74 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 70 auctions the median was $2.24, across 213 fixed-price sales $4.48. Fixed price therefore fetched about 100 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.91 and $4.95, with a median of $3.85. 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 $2.24. Offers well below $1.35 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 $5.05 (17), Italian $4.79 (29), English $3.38 (446). French fetches about 80 % 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.
