A PSA 10 currently sells for about $91.49, raw the card sits at $5.92 — 15,5× as much. Of 2.976 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $37.17 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 98 auctions the median was $4.12, across 427 fixed-price sales $5.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 39 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.82 and $6.61, with a median of $5.59. 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 $3.81. Offers well below $2.29 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 $6.69 (19), English $5.12 (603), German $3.36 (85). Italian fetches about 138 % 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.
