A PSA 10 currently sells for about $556.94, raw the card sits at $27.50 — 20,3× as much. Of 1.063 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $112.16 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 81 auctions the median was $15.23, across 120 fixed-price sales $19.69. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.28 and $23.48, with a median of $16.84. 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 $8.35. Offers well below $5.01 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 $28.06 (13), English $18.48 (218). German fetches about 52 % 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.
