A PSA 10 currently sells for about $421.71, raw the card sits at $14.63 — 28,8× as much. Of 1.250 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $111.38 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 223 auctions the median was $8.09, across 485 fixed-price sales $10.24. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.02 and $13.30, with a median of $9.59. 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 $4.91. Offers well below $2.94 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: German $20.65 (50), French $18.82 (16), English $11.36 (674). German fetches about 82 % 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.
