A PSA 10 currently sells for about $52.87, raw the card sits at $3.42 — 15,4× as much. Of 4.021 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $31.45 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 9 auctions the median was $2.81, across 44 fixed-price sales $3.98. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.23 and $3.98, with a median of $3.31. 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 $1.68. Offers well below $1.01 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 $3.02 (49), English $2.64 (69). German fetches about 14 % 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.
