A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,229, raw the card sits at $32.51 — 222,4× as much. Of 902 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,024 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 59 auctions the median was $10.39, across 162 fixed-price sales $18.76. Fixed price therefore fetched about 80 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.65 and $23.35, with a median of $14.76. 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 $5.94. Offers well below $3.56 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 (188), German $9.35 (19). English fetches about 58 % 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.
