A PSA 10 currently sells for about $165.95, raw the card sits at $4.25 — 39,0× as much. Of 2.251 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $76.14 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 57 auctions the median was $3.91, across 243 fixed-price sales $3.93. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $3.15 and $4.79, with a median of $3.91. 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 $2.47. Offers well below $1.48 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 $5.61 (19), German $4.49 (36), English $3.87 (438). French fetches about 45 % 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.
