A PSA 10 currently sells for about $172.57, raw the card sits at $14.79 — 11,7× as much. Of 8.786 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $110.01 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 252 auctions the median was $15.92, across 466 fixed-price sales $18.43. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.34 and $19.71, with a median of $15.49. 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 $9.57. Offers well below $5.74 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 $36.19 (27), Italian $21.57 (27), German $15.60 (58). French fetches about 153 % 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.
