A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,516, raw the card sits at $57.61 — 26.3× as much. Of 10.209 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $282.29 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 118 auctions the median was $62.67, across 284 fixed-price sales $74.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $58.23 and $77.62, with a median of $67.27. 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 $51.00. Offers well below $30.60 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 $79.25 (40), German $70.94 (23), English $57.96 (348). Italian fetches about 37 % 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.
