A PSA 10 currently sells for about $79.25, raw the card sits at $5.32 — 14,9× as much. Of 1.227 copies already graded, 76 % received a 10 and 17 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $65.51 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 52 auctions the median was $5.86, across 288 fixed-price sales $6.99. 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 $4.16 and $10.12, with a median of $5.61. 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 $3.33. Offers well below $2.00 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: German $9.01 (64), Italian $6.72 (56), English $4.89 (500). German fetches about 105 % 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.
