A PSA 10 currently sells for about $151.03, raw the card sits at $14.65 — 10,3× as much. Of 199 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $121.73 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 26 auctions the median was $2.69, across 59 fixed-price sales $5.62. Fixed price therefore fetched about 109 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.47 and $7.60, with a median of $4.91. 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 $1.68. Offers well below $1.01 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 $5.65 (128), German $4.56 (11). English fetches about 24 % 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.
