A PSA 10 currently sells for about $145.43, raw the card sits at $21.54 — 6.8× as much. Of 5.863 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $74.03 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 140 auctions the median was $22.22, across 335 fixed-price sales $25.93. 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 $20.26 and $27.66, with a median of $23.56. 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 $17.55. Offers well below $10.53 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 $21.59 (491), German $19.41 (38). English fetches about 11 % 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.
