A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,944, raw the card sits at $29.12 — 66,8× as much. Of 6.142 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $469.02 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 36 auctions the median was $24.13, across 128 fixed-price sales $29.02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $17.38 and $34.34, with a median of $25.17. 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 $12.10. Offers well below $7.26 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: German $38.18 (19), Italian $37.78 (12), English $22.55 (197). German fetches about 69 % 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.
