A PSA 10 currently sells for about $70.09, raw the card sits at $4.55 — 15.4× as much. Of 1.042 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $52.55 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 71 auctions the median was $3.50, across 230 fixed-price sales $4.67. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.16 and $5.11, with a median of $3.99. 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 $2.17. Offers well below $1.30 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 $4.29 (422), German $4.20 (23). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
