A PSA 10 currently sells for about $194.96, raw the card sits at $16.57 — 11,8× as much. Of 3.064 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $122.61 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 60 auctions the median was $13.64, across 210 fixed-price sales $19.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $14.44 and $19.97, with a median of $17.52. 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 $11.21. Offers well below $6.73 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: English $17.39 (297), Italian $12.70 (11), German $12.35 (22). English fetches about 41 % 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.
