A PSA 10 currently sells for about $100.28, raw the card sits at $27.09 — 3.7× as much. Of 2.546 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $64.68 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 88 auctions the median was $27.23, across 255 fixed-price sales $33.27. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $27.04 and $36.53, with a median of $31.31. 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 $23.49. Offers well below $14.10 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 $33.06 (427), German $22.45 (28). English fetches about 47 % more.

Last Sold 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.
