A PSA 10 currently sells for about $155.22, raw the card sits at $5.24 — 29,6× as much. Of 2.126 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $66.69 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 98 auctions the median was $3.93, across 541 fixed-price sales $4.52. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.64 and $5.20, with a median of $4.37. 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 $2.89. Offers well below $1.73 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 $5.60 (15), English $4.49 (760), German $3.94 (42). French fetches about 42 % 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.
