A PSA 10 currently sells for about $469.56, raw the card sits at $12.25 — 38,3× as much. Of 524 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $117.98 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 35 auctions the median was $4.24, across 213 fixed-price sales $9.37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 121 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.84 and $11.62, with a median of $8.73. 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 $3.79. Offers well below $2.28 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 $10.14 (13), English $7.88 (258), Japanese $5.50 (11). German fetches about 84 % 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.
