A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,504, raw the card sits at $7.91 — 190.1× as much. Of 694 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $97.86 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 18 auctions the median was $4.60, across 156 fixed-price sales $6.90. Fixed price therefore fetched about 50 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.88 and $8.64, with a median of $6.81. 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 $3.23. Offers well below $1.94 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 $9.45 (40), English $6.29 (267), French $3.38 (11). Italian fetches about 180 % 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.
