A PSA 10 currently sells for about $165.81, raw the card sits at $5.81 — 28.6× as much. Of 552 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $89.85 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 35 auctions the median was $4.42, across 179 fixed-price sales $5.64. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.16 and $6.38, with a median of $5.19. 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 $2.90. Offers well below $1.74 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 $6.05 (14), Italian $5.99 (18), English $5.97 (261). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
