A PSA 10 currently sells for about $4,524, raw the card sits at $103.44 — 43,7× as much. Of 592 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $835.93 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 37 auctions the median was $47.71, across 129 fixed-price sales $67.77. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $31.94 and $69.42, with a median of $48.69. 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 $23.52. Offers well below $14.11 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 $91.33 (197), French $44.89 (13). English fetches about 103 % 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.
