A PSA 10 currently sells for about $161.73, raw the card sits at $16.56 — 9,8× as much. Of 1.224 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $55.22 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 80 auctions the median was $12.09, across 272 fixed-price sales $15.65. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.69 and $17.53, with a median of $14.59. 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 $9.74. Offers well below $5.85 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 $15.75 (444), German $13.68 (20). English fetches about 15 % 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.
