A PSA 10 currently sells for about $270.22, raw the card sits at $49.95 — 5.4× as much. Of 14.981 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $154.43 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 272 auctions the median was $50.11, across 641 fixed-price sales $57.07. 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 $46.22 and $57.88, with a median of $51.97. 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 $39.32. Offers well below $23.59 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 $50.03 (814), German $41.95 (90), Italian $40.49 (30). English fetches about 28 % 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.
