A PSA 10 currently sells for about $45,616, raw the card sits at $74.00 — 616,5× as much. Of 273 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $3,948 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 46 auctions the median was $20.14, across 150 fixed-price sales $32.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 63 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.73 and $38.18, with a median of $21.32. 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 $7.72. Offers well below $4.63 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: English $24.52 (454), French $22.56 (17), German $8.78 (17). English fetches about 179 % 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.
