A PSA 10 currently sells for about $257.01, raw the card sits at $20.95 — 12,3× as much. Of 9.334 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $179.89 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 19 auctions the median was $20.81, across 90 fixed-price sales $31.76. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $22.45 and $32.56, with a median of $26.12. 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 $19.34. Offers well below $11.60 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: German $32.18 (13), English $23.26 (110). German fetches about 38 % 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.
