A PSA 10 currently sells for about $147.34, raw the card sits at $12.06 — 12,2× as much. Of 8.089 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $82.48 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 195 auctions the median was $12.37, across 568 fixed-price sales $14.51. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.56 and $15.66, with a median of $13.46. 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 $9.64. Offers well below $5.79 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: French $22.44 (16), Italian $19.19 (20), German $14.47 (58). French fetches about 87 % 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.
