A PSA 10 currently sells for about $172.20, raw the card sits at $5.66 — 30,4× as much. Of 274 copies already graded, 88 % received a 10 and 11 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $156.90 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 120 auctions the median was $8.98, across 234 fixed-price sales $12.63. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.24 and $13.27, with a median of $10.34. 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 $5.31. Offers well below $3.19 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 $8.98 (20), English $5.55 (501). German fetches about 62 % 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.
