A PSA 10 currently sells for about $339.49, raw the card sits at $6.98 — 48.7× as much. Of 994 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $131.37 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 52 auctions the median was $7.87, across 241 fixed-price sales $7.88. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $6.75 and $9.86, with a median of $7.81. 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 $5.48. Offers well below $3.29 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 $8.01 (10), Italian $7.78 (11), English $6.89 (328). German fetches about 16 % 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.
