A PSA 10 currently sells for about $235.70, raw the card sits at $11.81 — 20,0× as much. Of 4.807 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $66.75 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 236 auctions the median was $10.43, across 725 fixed-price sales $12.85. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $10.20 and $14.51, with a median of $11.81. 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 $8.23. Offers well below $4.94 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 $12.92 (125), French $12.49 (37), English $10.19 (961). German fetches about 29 % 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.
