A PSA 10 currently sells for about $49.32, raw the card sits at $3.12 — 15,8× as much. Of 701 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $37.30 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 20 auctions the median was $1.68, across 76 fixed-price sales $3.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 101 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.33 and $4.38, with a median of $3.12. 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 $1.68. Offers well below $1.01 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 $3.47 (144), German $1.99 (18). English fetches about 75 % 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.
