A PSA 10 currently sells for about $61.03, raw the card sits at $2.32 — 26,3× as much. Of 706 copies already graded, 41 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $33.03 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 $1.12, across 222 fixed-price sales $2.92. Fixed price therefore fetched about 160 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.86 and $3.49, with a median of $2.50. 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 $1.12. Offers well below $0.67 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 $2.96 (13), Italian $2.50 (38), English $2.32 (258). French fetches about 46 % 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.
