A PSA 10 currently sells for about $589.51, raw the card sits at $20.49 — 28,8× as much. Of 841 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $143.26 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 99 auctions the median was $14.01, across 192 fixed-price sales $17.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.38 and $19.95, with a median of $14.65. 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 $8.15. Offers well below $4.89 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 $21.89 (23), English $19.68 (307). German fetches about 11 % 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.
