A PSA 10 currently sells for about $71.19, raw the card sits at $4.79 — 14,9× as much. Of 2.342 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $38.39 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 85 auctions the median was $3.58, across 236 fixed-price sales $5.10. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.74 and $5.85, with a median of $4.70. 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 $2.94. Offers well below $1.76 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: Italian $4.89 (45), English $4.29 (452), French $4.25 (21). Italian fetches about 46 % 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.
