A PSA 10 currently sells for about $130.79, raw the card sits at $27.34 — 4,8× as much. Of 7.072 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $66.75 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 261 auctions the median was $29.75, across 570 fixed-price sales $35.09. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $28.03 and $38.09, with a median of $32.28. 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 $24.10. Offers well below $14.46 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: Italian $67.35 (14), French $60.64 (26), German $32.73 (65). Italian fetches about 146 % 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.
