A PSA 10 currently sells for about $88.83, raw the card sits at $22.42 — 4.0× as much. Of 7.981 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $56.34 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 141 auctions the median was $24.42, across 297 fixed-price sales $30.64. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $23.53 and $31.26, with a median of $27.10. 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 $20.23. Offers well below $12.14 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 $24.90 (381), German $22.41 (29). English fetches about 11 % 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.
