A PSA 10 currently sells for about $176.27, raw the card sits at $54.61 — 3,2× as much. Of 10.779 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $135.66 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 253 auctions the median was $61.83, across 449 fixed-price sales $69.57. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $54.28 and $69.19, with a median of $62.04. 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 $48.73. Offers well below $29.24 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 $101.78 (21), English $53.87 (771), German $48.83 (80). French fetches about 112 % 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.
