A PSA 10 currently sells for about $59.51, raw the card sits at $6.89 — 8,6× as much. Of 8.077 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $39.74 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 297 auctions the median was $7.17, across 834 fixed-price sales $8.85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.84 and $10.04, with a median of $8.16. 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 $5.75. Offers well below $3.45 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 $8.98 (17), English $6.89 (1235), German $6.17 (112). French 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.
