A PSA 10 currently sells for about $11,311, raw the card sits at $31.41 — 360,1× as much. Of 658 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,636 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 $11.22, across 109 fixed-price sales $26.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 133 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.74 and $26.26, with a median of $17.70. 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 $5.32. Offers well below $3.19 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 $14.76 (171), German $7.20 (22). English fetches about 105 % 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.
