A PSA 10 currently sells for about $49.76, raw the card sits at $6.50 — 7.7× as much. Of 4.695 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $28.73 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 76 auctions the median was $5.07, across 235 fixed-price sales $7.71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 52 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.86 and $8.46, with a median of $6.98. 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 $4.50. Offers well below $2.70 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 $6.51 (38), English $6.32 (404). 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.
