A PSA 10 currently sells for about $510.25, raw the card sits at $146.90 — 3,5× as much. Of 1.213 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $329.92 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 16 auctions the median was $89.47, across 54 fixed-price sales $123.77. Fixed price therefore fetched about 38 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $70.21 and $128.09, with a median of $106.99. 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 $50.47. Offers well below $30.28 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.
