A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,287, raw the card sits at $27.34 — 83,6× as much. Of 7.314 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $147.66 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 324 auctions the median was $16.87, across 429 fixed-price sales $19.70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.20 and $23.52, with a median of $17.63. 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 $9.64. Offers well below $5.79 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 $41.53 (40), Italian $33.67 (11), French $23.00 (10). German fetches about 105 % 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.
