A PSA 10 currently sells for about $93.98, raw the card sits at $9.87 — 9,5× as much. Of 3.849 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $47.14 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 270 auctions the median was $9.31, across 628 fixed-price sales $11.84. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.35 and $13.20, with a median of $10.81. 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 $7.34. Offers well below $4.40 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 $10.81 (33), English $9.84 (1074), French $8.52 (24). Italian fetches about 91 % 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.
