A PSA 10 currently sells for about $221.57, raw the card sits at $40.97 — 5,4× as much. Of 314 copies already graded, 41 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $185.62 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 14 auctions the median was $20.80, across 74 fixed-price sales $27.58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $19.99 and $34.46, with a median of $27.13. 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 $13.81. Offers well below $8.28 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
