A PSA 10 currently sells for about $334.71, raw the card sits at $49.93 — 6,7× as much. Of 1.677 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $206.83 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 107 auctions the median was $41.23, across 219 fixed-price sales $47.83. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $33.33 and $57.82, with a median of $43.79. 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 $23.42. Offers well below $14.05 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 $47.92 (27), English $44.00 (344). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
