A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,244, raw the card sits at $437.10 — 2,8× as much. Of 9.539 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $940.72 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 318 auctions the median was $469.77, across 576 fixed-price sales $532.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $383.98 and $520.92, with a median of $459.33. 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 $295.77. Offers well below $177.46 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 $503.78 (31), English $440.31 (400), Italian $313.00 (14). German fetches about 61 % 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.
