A PSA 10 currently sells for about $168.40, raw the card sits at $3.49 — 48,2× as much. Of 4.351 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $65.06 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 31 auctions the median was $2.21, across 48 fixed-price sales $2.95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.73 and $3.82, with a median of $2.46. 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 $1.04. Offers well below $0.63 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
