A PSA 10 currently sells for about $87.35, raw the card sits at $8.40 — 10,4× as much. Of 805 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $48.73 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 44 auctions the median was $5.84, across 249 fixed-price sales $6.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.89 and $8.23, with a median of $7.04. 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 $4.95. Offers well below $2.97 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 $7.30 (36), English $6.88 (425). 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.
