A PSA 10 currently sells for about $866.04, raw the card sits at $129.53 — 6,7× as much. Of 816 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $405.96 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 38 auctions the median was $58.26, across 118 fixed-price sales $77.97. 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 $49.28 and $91.26, with a median of $66.74. 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 $30.00. Offers well below $18.00 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 $110.71 (186), German $68.47 (13). English fetches about 62 % 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.
