A PSA 10 currently sells for about $75.43, raw the card sits at $6.58 — 11.5× as much. Of 4.641 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $35.77 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 194 auctions the median was $4.87, across 846 fixed-price sales $5.88. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.83 and $6.98, with a median of $5.78. 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 $4.09. Offers well below $2.45 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 $9.47 (32), English $6.60 (1313), Italian $6.44 (20). French fetches about 61 % 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.
