A PSA 10 currently sells for about $599.13, raw the card sits at $58.75 — 10,2× as much. Of 3.477 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $200.43 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 59 auctions the median was $35.49, across 143 fixed-price sales $49.47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 39 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $31.32 and $52.62, with a median of $41.30. 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 $20.88. Offers well below $12.53 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 $47.12 (187), German $43.67 (10), Italian $42.53 (17). English fetches about 11 % 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.
