A PSA 10 currently sells for about $530.88, raw the card sits at $48.39 — 11,0× as much. Of 975 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $144.73 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 69 auctions the median was $38.00, across 283 fixed-price sales $47.01. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $37.72 and $53.47, with a median of $45.61. 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 $32.69. Offers well below $19.61 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: German $50.71 (17), English $48.30 (314). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
