A PSA 10 currently sells for about $4,570, raw the card sits at $253.73 — 18,0× as much. Of 849 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,886 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 55 auctions the median was $311.18, across 92 fixed-price sales $427.45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 37 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $181.16 and $404.48, with a median of $288.16. 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 $106.65. Offers well below $63.99 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 $334.54 (109), German $139.70 (14). English fetches about 139 % 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.
