A PSA 10 currently sells for about $85.41, raw the card sits at $5.22 — 16.3× as much. Of 4.081 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 59 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $37.23 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 193 auctions the median was $3.90, across 897 fixed-price sales $4.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.05 and $5.81, with a median of $4.83. 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 $3.37. Offers well below $2.02 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 $5.16 (1356), French $5.08 (25), German $4.14 (84). English fetches about 25 % more.

Last Sold 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.
