A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,052, raw the card sits at $44.89 — 23,4× as much. Of 4.638 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $234.16 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 39 auctions the median was $29.44, across 209 fixed-price sales $34.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $24.66 and $38.51, with a median of $32.93. 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 $19.18. Offers well below $11.51 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: English $34.23 (244), French $15.33 (20). English fetches about 123 % 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.
