A PSA 10 currently sells for about $98.32, raw the card sits at $12.78 — 7.7× as much. Of 1.970 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $46.28 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 77 auctions the median was $12.75, across 252 fixed-price sales $15.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.99 and $17.30, with a median of $14.43. 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 $9.98. Offers well below $5.99 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 $12.85 (43), English $12.74 (368). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
