A PSA 10 currently sells for about $77.55, raw the card sits at $2.30 — 33.7× as much. Of 478 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $44.35 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 23 auctions the median was $2.25, across 142 fixed-price sales $2.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.20 and $3.45, with a median of $2.86. 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 $1.71. Offers well below $1.03 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 $3.37 (12), English $2.30 (132), Italian $1.39 (11). German fetches about 143 % 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.
