A PSA 10 currently sells for about $140.80, raw the card sits at $16.34 — 8,6× as much. Of 1.922 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $47.79 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 114 auctions the median was $13.07, across 299 fixed-price sales $16.71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.36 and $19.36, with a median of $16.46. 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 $10.85. Offers well below $6.51 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 $17.62 (21), English $14.76 (511), German $14.59 (37). Italian fetches about 21 % 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.
