A PSA 10 currently sells for about $90.29, raw the card sits at $12.73 — 7.1× as much. Of 518 copies already graded, 80 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $79.37 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 63 auctions the median was $14.54, across 95 fixed-price sales $20.90. Fixed price therefore fetched about 44 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.61 and $20.76, with a median of $16.73. 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 $9.69. Offers well below $5.81 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 $17.02 (16), English $12.73 (231). German fetches about 34 % 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.
