A PSA 10 currently sells for about $186.17, raw the card sits at $13.05 — 14,3× as much. Of 2.287 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $60.82 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 78 auctions the median was $10.09, across 206 fixed-price sales $13.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $10.26 and $14.75, with a median of $12.53. 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 $8.35. Offers well below $5.01 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 $12.35 (351), German $11.22 (12). English fetches about 10 % 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.
