A PSA 10 currently sells for about $61.57, raw the card sits at $5.51 — 11,2× as much. Of 829 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $42.74 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 27 auctions the median was $4.70, across 189 fixed-price sales $5.75. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.53 and $6.49, with a median of $5.22. 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 $3.83. Offers well below $2.30 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 $5.49 (16), English $4.82 (263). German fetches about 14 % 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.
