A PSA 10 currently sells for about $74.07, raw the card sits at $5.10 — 14.5× as much. Of 1.677 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $45.93 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 57 auctions the median was $5.44, across 318 fixed-price sales $6.78. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.57 and $7.76, with a median of $6.47. 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 $4.82. Offers well below $2.89 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 $9.29 (11), English $5.96 (552), German $5.81 (26). French fetches about 60 % 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.
