A PSA 10 currently sells for about $159.01, raw the card sits at $6.29 — 25,3× as much. Of 1.550 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $79.72 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 22 auctions the median was $3.93, across 111 fixed-price sales $5.98. 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 $4.43 and $6.62, with a median of $5.41. 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 $3.52. Offers well below $2.11 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 $5.33 (249), German $3.15 (23). English fetches about 69 % 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.
