A PSA 10 currently sells for about $76.86, raw the card sits at $18.36 — 4.2× as much. Of 3.148 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $50.12 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 87 auctions the median was $17.08, across 237 fixed-price sales $21.93. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $16.18 and $22.40, with a median of $19.41. 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 $12.62. Offers well below $7.57 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 $22.15 (19), German $19.61 (29), English $18.37 (319). Italian fetches about 21 % 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.
