A PSA 10 currently sells for about $351.50, raw the card sits at $14.03 — 25,1× as much. Of 1.041 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $112.11 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 296 auctions the median was $13.08, across 918 fixed-price sales $15.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.19 and $18.12, with a median of $14.83. 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 $9.69. Offers well below $5.81 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: English $13.78 (1188), German $10.72 (148), French $10.69 (47). English fetches about 78 % 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.
