A PSA 10 currently sells for about $250.17, raw the card sits at $17.85 — 14,0× as much. Of 636 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $90.98 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 55 auctions the median was $12.85, across 252 fixed-price sales $14.32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.67 and $17.31, with a median of $14.54. 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 $10.14. Offers well below $6.08 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 $17.41 (329), German $16.38 (32). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
