A PSA 10 currently sells for about $106.55, raw the card sits at $5.78 — 18,4× as much. Of 870 copies already graded, 58 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $74.85 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 25 auctions the median was $4.13, across 101 fixed-price sales $5.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.21 and $6.59, with a median of $5.31. 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 $3.39. Offers well below $2.03 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 $5.37 (225), German $3.76 (10). English fetches about 43 % 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.
