A PSA 10 currently sells for about $38.92, raw the card sits at $1.97 — 19.7× as much. Of 2.066 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $26.99 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 40 auctions the median was $1.31, across 94 fixed-price sales $2.34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 79 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.69 and $2.93, with a median of $2.32. 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 $1.06. Offers well below $0.64 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 $3.37 (11), English $1.97 (159). German fetches about 71 % 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.
