A PSA 10 currently sells for about $123.07, raw the card sits at $11.48 — 10.7× as much. Of 8.365 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $49.41 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 249 auctions the median was $9.65, across 707 fixed-price sales $11.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.16 and $12.54, with a median of $10.47. 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 $7.68. Offers well below $4.61 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: French $16.29 (37), Italian $11.88 (36), German $10.06 (65). French fetches about 63 % 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.
