A PSA 10 currently sells for about $108.26, raw the card sits at $28.92 — 3.7× as much. Of 7.280 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $81.33 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 113 auctions the median was $26.59, across 365 fixed-price sales $31.11. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $23.60 and $32.33, with a median of $27.71. 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 $19.47. Offers well below $11.68 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 $25.28 (420), German $23.14 (32). 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.
