A PSA 10 currently sells for about $39.14, raw the card sits at $3.36 — 11,7× as much. Of 699 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $26.87 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 34 auctions the median was $2.35, across 105 fixed-price sales $4.19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 78 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.93 and $4.69, with a median of $3.82. 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 $2.32. Offers well below $1.39 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: German $4.03 (23), English $3.18 (226). German fetches about 27 % 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.
