A PSA 10 currently sells for about $69.54, raw the card sits at $11.65 — 6,0× as much. Of 2.442 copies already graded, 57 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $49.81 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 $9.54, across 290 fixed-price sales $12.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $9.74 and $14.03, with a median of $11.76. 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 $7.39. Offers well below $4.43 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 $10.85 (402), German $5.63 (36). English fetches about 93 % 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.
