A PSA 10 currently sells for about $202.97, raw the card sits at $48.97 — 4,1× as much. Of 3.469 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $117.00 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 118 auctions the median was $39.59, across 287 fixed-price sales $48.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $37.33 and $52.39, with a median of $44.76. 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 $26.59. Offers well below $15.95 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 $59.45 (11), English $47.33 (500), German $25.66 (46). Italian fetches about 132 % 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.
