A PSA 10 currently sells for about $9,338, raw the card sits at $121.61 — 76,8× as much. Of 859 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $2,295 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 35 auctions the median was $24.82, across 101 fixed-price sales $29.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $16.84 and $35.25, with a median of $23.48. 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 $12.44. Offers well below $7.46 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 $29.25 (241), German $21.15 (24). English fetches about 38 % 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.
