A PSA 10 currently sells for about $15,291, raw the card sits at $160.38 — 95.3× as much. Of 2.556 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,811 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 117 auctions the median was $84.99, across 254 fixed-price sales $107.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $49.36 and $107.24, with a median of $75.51. 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 $34.86. Offers well below $20.91 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 $107.53 (267), German $89.23 (12). English fetches about 21 % 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.
