A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,147, raw the card sits at $297.92 — 7.2× as much. Of 602 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,004 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 141 auctions the median was $145.71, across 240 fixed-price sales $169.10. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $106.03 and $192.63, with a median of $148.75. 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 $78.88. Offers well below $47.33 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 $129.50 (421), German $101.87 (25). English fetches about 27 % 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.
