A PSA 10 currently sells for about $178.52, raw the card sits at $43.31 — 4.1× as much. Of 3.247 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $106.03 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 104 auctions the median was $41.92, across 214 fixed-price sales $53.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $39.44 and $54.52, with a median of $47.16. 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 $31.94. Offers well below $19.16 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 $40.97 (360), German $31.00 (16). English fetches about 32 % 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.
