A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,037, raw the card sits at $338.41 — 9,0× as much. Of 896 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,153 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 38 auctions the median was $169.50, across 68 fixed-price sales $237.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $98.36 and $246.14, with a median of $165.21. 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 $58.36. Offers well below $35.02 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 $261.96 (77), German $249.81 (10). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
