A PSA 10 currently sells for about $52.60, raw the card sits at $7.86 — 6,7× as much. Of 2.692 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $29.72 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 72 auctions the median was $6.17, across 217 fixed-price sales $7.37. 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 $5.98 and $8.51, with a median of $6.99. 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 $4.91. Offers well below $2.94 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: French $14.58 (12), Italian $10.84 (22), English $6.91 (311). French fetches about 113 % 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.
