A PSA 10 currently sells for about $293.70, raw the card sits at $18.88 — 15.6× as much. Of 13.885 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $92.88 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 257 auctions the median was $13.99, across 688 fixed-price sales $15.66. 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 $13.52 and $17.10, with a median of $15.24. 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 $10.99. Offers well below $6.59 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: English $16.43 (950), French $16.35 (15), German $11.75 (47). English fetches about 40 % more.

Last Sold 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.
