A PSA 10 currently sells for about $408.81, raw the card sits at $46.15 — 8.9× as much. Of 1.253 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $240.50 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 27 auctions the median was $48.29, across 81 fixed-price sales $67.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 39 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $42.38 and $69.17, with a median of $56.59. 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 $34.37. Offers well below $20.62 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
