A PSA 10 currently sells for about $196.25, raw the card sits at $24.65 — 8.0× as much. Of 872 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $110.01 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 108 auctions the median was $20.71, across 277 fixed-price sales $23.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $18.02 and $28.88, with a median of $23.57. 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 $11.72. Offers well below $7.03 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 $24.68 (449), German $14.47 (44). English fetches about 71 % 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.
