A PSA 10 currently sells for about $97.43, raw the card sits at $13.94 — 7,0× as much. Of 1.731 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $63.27 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 131 auctions the median was $7.71, across 507 fixed-price sales $10.32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.69 and $12.00, with a median of $9.93. 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 $6.43. Offers well below $3.86 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 $10.66 (719), French $7.75 (11), German $6.79 (50). English fetches about 63 % 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.
