A PSA 10 currently sells for about $96.71, raw the card sits at $12.82 — 7,5× as much. Of 3.566 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $62.81 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 42 auctions the median was $11.22, across 171 fixed-price sales $16.34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 46 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.52 and $16.90, with a median of $14.50. 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 $9.71. Offers well below $5.83 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 $16.83 (12), English $12.84 (304). German fetches about 31 % 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.
