A PSA 10 currently sells for about $198.75, raw the card sits at $34.22 — 5.8× as much. Of 4.219 copies already graded, 36 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $94.58 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 129 auctions the median was $29.40, across 347 fixed-price sales $34.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $28.06 and $38.36, with a median of $32.83. 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 $23.96. Offers well below $14.37 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 $52.12 (10), English $31.32 (462), Italian $30.03 (10). French 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.
