A PSA 10 currently sells for about $89.09, raw the card sits at $13.11 — 6,8× as much. Of 17.412 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $62.47 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 24 auctions the median was $8.16, across 74 fixed-price sales $9.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $5.88 and $11.74, with a median of $8.17. 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 $4.70. Offers well below $2.82 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 $24.37 (20), English $9.65 (128). German fetches about 152 % 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.
