A PSA 10 currently sells for about $16,057, raw the card sits at $149.48 — 107,4× as much. Of 1.119 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 14 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $637.71 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 96 auctions the median was $44.56, across 205 fixed-price sales $68.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 55 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $38.06 and $69.16, with a median of $48.95. 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 $24.74. Offers well below $14.84 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 $69.10 (315), German $61.74 (13), Italian $49.63 (10). English fetches about 47 % 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.
