A PSA 10 currently sells for about $143.98, raw the card sits at $10.37 — 13.9× as much. Of 491 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $93.56 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 39 auctions the median was $8.78, across 162 fixed-price sales $10.26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $8.77 and $11.67, with a median of $10.02. 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 $7.26. Offers well below $4.36 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 $11.78 (231), German $9.70 (12). English fetches about 21 % more.

Last Sold 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.
