A PSA 10 currently sells for about $336.02, raw the card sits at $68.28 — 4.9× as much. Of 1.677 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $206.99 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 108 auctions the median was $41.40, across 214 fixed-price sales $48.29. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $33.50 and $58.07, with a median of $43.96. 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 $23.51. Offers well below $14.10 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: English $48.54 (335), German $28.22 (26). English fetches about 72 % 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.
