A PSA 10 currently sells for about $204.26, raw the card sits at $4.84 — 42,2× as much. Of 401 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $140.62 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 5 auctions the median was $4.82, across 33 fixed-price sales $8.07. Fixed price therefore fetched about 68 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.82 and $8.22, with a median of $5.86. 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 $3.17. Offers well below $1.90 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
