A PSA 10 currently sells for about $68.01, raw the card sits at $5.83 — 11,7× as much. Of 811 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $38.60 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 48 auctions the median was $4.10, across 159 fixed-price sales $5.80. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.70 and $6.82, with a median of $5.60. 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 $3.47. Offers well below $2.08 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 $5.42 (289), German $3.92 (17). English fetches about 38 % 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.
