A PSA 10 currently sells for about $110.72, raw the card sits at $37.29 — 3,0× as much. Of 2.464 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $84.04 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 57 auctions the median was $26.94, across 206 fixed-price sales $34.29. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $26.50 and $36.98, with a median of $31.43. 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 $21.50. Offers well below $12.90 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 $36.63 (271), German $30.45 (17). English fetches about 20 % 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.
