A PSA 10 currently sells for about $85.83, raw the card sits at $5.79 — 14,8× as much. Of 1.529 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $40.12 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 46 auctions the median was $3.67, across 201 fixed-price sales $5.61. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.13 and $6.43, with a median of $5.17. 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 $3.19. Offers well below $1.91 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 $5.47 (48), English $5.05 (445). 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.
