A PSA 10 currently sells for about $389.91, raw the card sits at $72.59 — 5.4× as much. Of 36.797 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $248.36 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 117 auctions the median was $81.75, across 387 fixed-price sales $91.72. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $55.89 and $87.73, with a median of $76.43. 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 $41.91. Offers well below $25.15 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 $91.72 (23), English $87.01 (322), French $50.86 (48). Italian fetches about 112 % 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.
