A PSA 10 currently sells for about $548.25, raw the card sits at $76.30 — 7,2× as much. Of 16.183 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $267.53 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 419 auctions the median was $93.53, across 765 fixed-price sales $105.12. 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 $83.06 and $109.76, with a median of $95.84. 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 $68.25. Offers well below $40.95 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: French $88.22 (41), Italian $85.21 (40), English $84.22 (1021). French fetches about 43 % 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.
