A PSA 10 currently sells for about $62.56, raw the card sits at $4.04 — 15,5× as much. Of 3.643 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $49.28 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 30 auctions the median was $2.81, across 82 fixed-price sales $3.52. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.62 and $4.16, with a median of $3.36. 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 $1.95. Offers well below $1.17 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 $5.55 (12), English $3.12 (162). German fetches about 78 % 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.
