A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,951, raw the card sits at $72.87 — 54,2× as much. Of 401 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,175 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 38 auctions the median was $9.99, across 90 fixed-price sales $16.46. Fixed price therefore fetched about 65 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.84 and $20.38, with a median of $13.18. 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 $3.35. Offers well below $2.01 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: English $15.03 (280), French $12.91 (12), German $10.37 (23). English fetches about 45 % 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.
