A PSA 10 currently sells for about $194.21, raw the card sits at $45.89 — 4,2× as much. Of 3.217 copies already graded, 33 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $100.26 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 91 auctions the median was $38.57, across 251 fixed-price sales $48.57. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $38.61 and $52.20, with a median of $44.35. 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 $34.00. Offers well below $20.40 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 $45.97 (11), English $45.88 (347), German $40.20 (19). Italian fetches about 14 % 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.
