A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,826, raw the card sits at $83.57 — 21,9× as much. Of 1.212 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $517.69 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 41 auctions the median was $44.35, across 127 fixed-price sales $58.63. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $38.78 and $64.67, with a median of $50.91. 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 $27.95. Offers well below $16.77 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: Japanese $80.23 (13), English $74.35 (162). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
