A PSA 10 currently sells for about $226.85, raw the card sits at $9.54 — 23.8× as much. Of 486 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $70.39 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 59 auctions the median was $7.44, across 220 fixed-price sales $9.38. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.34 and $10.48, with a median of $8.90. 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 $6.16. Offers well below $3.70 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 $8.19 (333), German $7.51 (19). 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.
