A PSA 10 currently sells for about $437.58, raw the card sits at $13.48 — 32,5× as much. Of 68 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $243.55 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 9 auctions the median was $6.36, across 16 fixed-price sales $12.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 96 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.70 and $12.50, with a median of $6.72. 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.
