A PSA 10 currently sells for about $222.42, raw the card sits at $48.86 — 4,6× as much. Of 6.540 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $152.35 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 161 auctions the median was $48.40, across 502 fixed-price sales $53.26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $43.36 and $57.53, with a median of $49.18. 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 $36.95. Offers well below $22.17 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 $67.23 (14), English $48.63 (616), German $39.44 (93). French fetches about 70 % 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.
