A PSA 10 currently sells for about $301.28, raw the card sits at $53.12 — 5,7× as much. Of 14.459 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $173.81 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 237 auctions the median was $50.29, across 637 fixed-price sales $57.27. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $46.46 and $57.86, with a median of $51.92. 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 $40.17. Offers well below $24.10 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 $54.17 (30), English $48.85 (810), French $44.89 (28). Italian fetches about 38 % 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.
