A PSA 10 currently sells for about $68.07, raw the card sits at $12.84 — 5,3× as much. Of 1.881 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $42.96 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 119 auctions the median was $8.12, across 467 fixed-price sales $10.10. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.12 and $12.01, with a median of $9.89. 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: French $10.10 (13), English $9.87 (798), German $7.86 (50). French fetches about 29 % 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.
