A PSA 10 currently sells for about $82.41, raw the card sits at $3.86 — 21,3× as much. Of 1.160 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $55.91 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 42 auctions the median was $3.37, across 200 fixed-price sales $4.43. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.18 and $5.01, with a median of $3.93. 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 $2.66. Offers well below $1.60 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: German $7.99 (27), English $3.85 (266). German fetches about 108 % 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.
