A PSA 10 currently sells for about $849.15, raw the card sits at $29.13 — 29,2× as much. Of 2.044 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $105.55 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 158 auctions the median was $22.89, across 338 fixed-price sales $25.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $18.32 and $30.50, with a median of $23.93. 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 $14.03. Offers well below $8.42 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 $30.33 (10), Italian $23.20 (20), English $22.85 (803). French fetches about 171 % 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.
