A PSA 10 currently sells for about $616.14, raw the card sits at $14.94 — 41,2× as much. Of 1.747 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $165.92 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 310 auctions the median was $10.32, across 645 fixed-price sales $11.78. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.39 and $15.15, with a median of $11.12. 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 $5.61. Offers well below $3.37 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 $28.62 (17), German $21.33 (49), English $14.77 (971). French fetches about 94 % 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.
