A PSA 10 currently sells for about $137.84, raw the card sits at $10.73 — 12,8× as much. Of 540 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $54.72 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 136 auctions the median was $3.49, across 336 fixed-price sales $6.38. Fixed price therefore fetched about 83 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.93 and $8.26, with a median of $5.81. 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 $2.21. Offers well below $1.33 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 $15.50 (31), English $5.42 (531). German fetches about 186 % 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.
