A PSA 10 currently sells for about $188.38, raw the card sits at $45.03 — 4,2× as much. Of 3.431 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $103.64 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 110 auctions the median was $37.67, across 357 fixed-price sales $47.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $37.40 and $49.06, with a median of $41.76. 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 $33.54. Offers well below $20.12 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 $47.00 (16), English $44.91 (416), German $42.73 (21). Italian fetches about 10 % 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.
