A PSA 10 currently sells for about $82.77, raw the card sits at $15.00 — 5,5× as much. Of 3.191 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $54.86 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 137 auctions the median was $12.53, across 330 fixed-price sales $15.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.16 and $17.04, with a median of $14.44. 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 $9.87. Offers well below $5.92 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: German $26.50 (51), Italian $18.87 (22), English $13.83 (493). German fetches about 92 % 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.
