A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,888, raw the card sits at $129.70 — 30,0× as much. Of 806 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $784.36 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 35 auctions the median was $102.47, across 84 fixed-price sales $120.28. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $56.70 and $123.71, with a median of $86.51. 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 $41.11. Offers well below $24.66 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.
