A PSA 10 currently sells for about $113.84, raw the card sits at $31.34 — 3,6× as much. Of 9.952 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $67.42 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 131 auctions the median was $34.86, across 311 fixed-price sales $39.28. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $31.46 and $41.06, with a median of $35.33. 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 $28.92. Offers well below $17.35 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: German $39.28 (44), English $29.39 (473), Italian $28.65 (18). German fetches about 37 % 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.
