A PSA 10 currently sells for about $379.07, raw the card sits at $54.63 — 6.9× as much. Of 4.690 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $174.99 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 45 auctions the median was $37.81, across 211 fixed-price sales $48.11. 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 $35.34 and $50.59, with a median of $42.26. 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 $28.17. Offers well below $16.90 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 $55.65 (183), German $27.85 (25). English fetches about 100 % 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.
