A PSA 10 currently sells for about $218.64, raw the card sits at $48.22 — 4,5× as much. Of 1.708 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $140.03 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 260 auctions the median was $49.33, across 584 fixed-price sales $58.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $41.35 and $58.89, with a median of $49.49. 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 $33.62. Offers well below $20.17 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: Italian $65.57 (36), French $61.75 (17), German $44.90 (44). Italian fetches about 47 % 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.
