A PSA 10 currently sells for about $858.84, raw the card sits at $18.42 — 46,6× as much. Of 334 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $129.18 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 28 auctions the median was $10.07, across 72 fixed-price sales $14.92. Fixed price therefore fetched about 48 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.69 and $19.48, with a median of $14.04. 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 $5.31. Offers well below $3.19 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
