A PSA 10 currently sells for about $44.99, raw the card sits at $2.84 — 15.8× as much. Of 3.823 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $27.78 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 116 auctions the median was $2.74, across 373 fixed-price sales $3.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.32 and $4.03, with a median of $3.15. 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 $1.71. Offers well below $1.03 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 $3.68 (11), German $3.35 (32), English $2.00 (857). French fetches about 84 % 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.
