A PSA 10 currently sells for about $78.57, raw the card sits at $3.55 — 22,2× as much. Of 712 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $62.43 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 30 auctions the median was $1.52, across 54 fixed-price sales $2.33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 54 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.68 and $3.38, with a median of $2.32. 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 $1.12. Offers well below $0.67 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 $2.32 (127), German $1.49 (13). English fetches about 56 % 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.
