A PSA 10 currently sells for about $85.55, raw the card sits at $5.01 — 17.1× as much. Of 4.081 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 59 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $37.92 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 159 auctions the median was $3.92, across 747 fixed-price sales $4.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.07 and $5.83, with a median of $4.84. 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 $3.40. Offers well below $2.04 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 $5.37 (24), English $5.07 (1183), German $4.15 (84). French fetches about 29 % 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.
