A PSA 10 currently sells for about $377.59, raw the card sits at $55.81 — 6,8× as much. Of 4.668 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $174.43 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 44 auctions the median was $37.66, across 209 fixed-price sales $47.72. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $35.08 and $50.21, with a median of $42.09. 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 $28.06. Offers well below $16.84 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 $55.28 (181), German $27.74 (25). English fetches about 99 % 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.
