A PSA 10 currently sells for about $189.93, raw the card sits at $12.91 — 14,7× as much. Of 172 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $125.21 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 23 auctions the median was $8.16, across 55 fixed-price sales $14.09. Fixed price therefore fetched about 73 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.65 and $16.70, with a median of $12.21. 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 $6.17. Offers well below $3.70 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.
