A PSA 10 currently sells for about $190.86, raw the card sits at $22.63 — 8,4× as much. Of 2.353 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $93.27 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 134 auctions the median was $19.57, across 369 fixed-price sales $22.33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $18.06 and $25.82, with a median of $21.43. 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 $13.80. Offers well below $8.28 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 $30.20 (15), English $19.68 (489), German $16.84 (102). Italian fetches about 79 % 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.
