A PSA 10 currently sells for about $168.31, raw the card sits at $22.41 — 7,5× as much. Of 782 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $82.58 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 82 auctions the median was $17.21, across 268 fixed-price sales $21.02. 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 $16.70 and $23.55, with a median of $19.77. 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 $12.35. Offers well below $7.41 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 $19.73 (412), German $8.56 (29). English fetches about 130 % 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.
