A PSA 10 currently sells for about $148.66, raw the card sits at $19.64 — 7.6× as much. Of 3.591 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $73.66 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 110 auctions the median was $18.23, across 267 fixed-price sales $23.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $17.71 and $24.06, with a median of $20.93. 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 $14.58. Offers well below $8.75 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 $19.26 (398), German $16.90 (35). English fetches about 14 % 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.
