A PSA 10 currently sells for about $571.09, raw the card sits at $15.88 — 36.0× as much. Of 805 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $151.03 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 58 auctions the median was $15.78, across 109 fixed-price sales $20.84. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.79 and $24.51, with a median of $18.71. 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 $10.83. Offers well below $6.50 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 $16.69 (14), English $14.42 (186). German fetches about 16 % 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.
