A PSA 10 currently sells for about $74.50, raw the card sits at $5.51 — 13,5× as much. Of 4.516 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $40.64 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 192 auctions the median was $4.68, across 928 fixed-price sales $5.84. 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 $4.83 and $6.86, with a median of $5.70. 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 $3.94. Offers well below $2.36 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 $12.71 (31), German $7.86 (114), Italian $5.76 (18). French fetches about 132 % 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.
