A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,967, raw the card sits at $21.24 — 139,7× as much. Of 609 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $714.77 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 56 auctions the median was $14.68, across 120 fixed-price sales $23.26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 58 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.21 and $23.48, with a median of $13.95. 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: German $20.33 (19), English $18.13 (239), French $12.91 (12). German fetches about 57 % 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.
