A PSA 10 currently sells for about $48.57, raw the card sits at $5.16 — 9,4× as much. Of 2.351 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $36.34 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 62 auctions the median was $4.91, across 200 fixed-price sales $6.02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.38 and $6.63, with a median of $5.43. 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 $3.27. Offers well below $1.96 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 $6.60 (31), French $5.61 (14), German $5.05 (39). Italian fetches about 35 % 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.
