A PSA 10 currently sells for about $311.93, raw the card sits at $9.59 — 32,5× as much. Of 392 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 62 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $90.08 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 46 auctions the median was $7.13, across 198 fixed-price sales $9.35. Fixed price therefore fetched about 31 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.79 and $10.52, with a median of $9.08. 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 $6.66. Offers well below $3.99 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 $8.87 (312), German $6.35 (20). English fetches about 40 % 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.
