A PSA 10 currently sells for about $487.32, raw the card sits at $19.80 — 24,6× as much. Of 236 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $229.03 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 101 auctions the median was $15.15, across 329 fixed-price sales $19.23. 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 $13.67 and $22.19, with a median of $17.92. 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 $10.12. Offers well below $6.07 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 $33.66 (34), English $19.68 (590), French $13.98 (12). German fetches about 141 % 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.
