A PSA 10 currently sells for about $106.00, raw the card sits at $19.39 — 5,5× as much. Of 21.198 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $77.82 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 66 auctions the median was $20.91, across 241 fixed-price sales $23.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $18.23 and $24.20, with a median of $20.88. 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 $15.63. Offers well below $9.38 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 $19.88 (71), English $19.55 (288), Italian $15.03 (10). German fetches about 32 % 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.
