A PSA 10 currently sells for about $976.55, raw the card sits at $35.63 — 27,4× as much. Of 3.485 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $224.10 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 132 auctions the median was $20.77, across 376 fixed-price sales $24.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $15.77 and $29.24, with a median of $21.94. 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 $10.63. Offers well below $6.38 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: Italian $31.32 (16), English $27.36 (423), Japanese $19.54 (113). Italian fetches about 165 % 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.
