A PSA 10 currently sells for about $619.69, raw the card sits at $22.87 — 27,1× as much. Of 343 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $140.56 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 54 auctions the median was $13.51, across 123 fixed-price sales $14.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.38 and $22.90, with a median of $13.67. 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 $6.77. Offers well below $4.06 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 $20.68 (161), French $13.91 (12), German $10.44 (42). English fetches about 98 % 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.
