A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,488, raw the card sits at $43.71 — 79,8× as much. Of 500 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,137 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 $10.51, across 131 fixed-price sales $13.00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.76 and $18.21, with a median of $11.44. 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 $3.38. Offers well below $2.03 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 $14.18 (285), German $5.13 (17). English fetches about 176 % 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.
