A PSA 10 currently sells for about $212.61, raw the card sits at $41.70 — 5,1× as much. Of 4.415 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $111.49 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 148 auctions the median was $40.35, across 449 fixed-price sales $46.38. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $37.69 and $52.33, with a median of $44.29. 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 $29.59. Offers well below $17.75 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 $56.05 (14), Italian $54.15 (47), English $41.81 (521). French fetches about 78 % 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.
