A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,092, raw the card sits at $4.40 — 248,2× as much. Of 487 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $164.31 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 5 auctions the median was $4.89, across 39 fixed-price sales $4.78. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $2.91 and $4.83, with a median of $3.88. 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 $2.10. Offers well below $1.26 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: Italian $7.17 (21), English $3.15 (147). Italian fetches about 127 % 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.
