A PSA 10 currently sells for about $88.46, raw the card sits at $17.22 — 5.1× as much. Of 3.544 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $58.67 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 90 auctions the median was $12.80, across 234 fixed-price sales $15.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.83 and $17.32, with a median of $14.48. 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 $9.62. Offers well below $5.77 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 $14.82 (374), German $7.80 (14). English fetches about 90 % 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.
