A PSA 10 currently sells for about $355.59, raw the card sits at $33.76 — 10,5× as much. Of 3.340 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $116.62 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 139 auctions the median was $28.69, across 356 fixed-price sales $33.76. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $27.76 and $38.23, with a median of $32.67. 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 $20.73. Offers well below $12.44 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 $34.16 (14), English $30.87 (526), German $19.61 (48). French fetches about 74 % 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.
