A PSA 10 currently sells for about $98.25, raw the card sits at $28.23 — 3,5× as much. Of 3.376 copies already graded, 73 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $83.31 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 69 auctions the median was $29.14, across 184 fixed-price sales $39.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $28.48 and $40.05, with a median of $33.67. 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 $21.60. Offers well below $12.96 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 $36.72 (10), English $30.07 (239). French fetches about 22 % 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.
