A PSA 10 currently sells for about $140.16, raw the card sits at $11.10 — 12,6× as much. Of 470 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $45.50 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 101 auctions the median was $3.73, across 291 fixed-price sales $6.79. Fixed price therefore fetched about 82 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.16 and $8.27, with a median of $5.89. 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 $2.77. Offers well below $1.66 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 $7.73 (19), English $6.50 (400). German fetches about 19 % 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.
