A PSA 10 currently sells for about $626.07, raw the card sits at $11.69 — 53,6× as much. Of 6.594 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $206.02 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 $5.90, across 81 fixed-price sales $16.64. Fixed price therefore fetched about 182 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.40 and $15.66, with a median of $10.05. 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 $2.81. Offers well below $1.68 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 $12.68 (227), German $6.17 (15). 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.
