A PSA 10 currently sells for about $62.66, raw the card sits at $3.98 — 15.7× as much. Of 2.496 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $30.85 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 163 auctions the median was $3.43, across 543 fixed-price sales $4.68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.68 and $5.41, with a median of $4.41. 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 $2.88. Offers well below $1.73 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: Italian $5.19 (45), English $4.91 (796), French $3.91 (21). Italian fetches about 55 % 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.
