A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,418, raw the card sits at $5.99 — 570,2× as much. Of 832 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $453.96 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 61 auctions the median was $8.42, across 177 fixed-price sales $15.22. Fixed price therefore fetched about 81 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.17 and $17.70, with a median of $13.77. 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 $6.25. Offers well below $3.75 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 $11.62 (214), German $4.71 (19). English fetches about 146 % 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.
