A PSA 10 currently sells for about $235.26, raw the card sits at $11.80 — 19,9× as much. Of 4.807 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $66.62 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 237 auctions the median was $10.41, across 724 fixed-price sales $12.83. 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 $10.18 and $14.48, with a median of $11.79. 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 $8.21. Offers well below $4.93 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: French $12.64 (37), German $11.54 (126), English $10.76 (960). French fetches about 25 % 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.
