A PSA 10 currently sells for about $124.57, raw the card sits at $9.38 — 13,3× as much. Of 7.563 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $56.99 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 167 auctions the median was $8.60, across 728 fixed-price sales $9.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.35 and $11.22, with a median of $9.60. 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 $6.73. Offers well below $4.04 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 $12.72 (14), English $9.38 (964), German $6.17 (57). French fetches about 106 % 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.
