A PSA 10 currently sells for about $116.61, raw the card sits at $32.40 — 3,6× as much. Of 4.059 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $71.46 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 94 auctions the median was $23.72, across 279 fixed-price sales $29.95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $23.19 and $32.89, with a median of $27.83. 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 $19.28. Offers well below $11.57 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 $37.64 (34), English $31.40 (436). German fetches about 20 % 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.
