A PSA 10 currently sells for about $167.78, raw the card sits at $5.24 — 32.0× as much. Of 842 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $81.42 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 61 auctions the median was $3.86, across 333 fixed-price sales $5.42. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.01 and $5.96, 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 $2.95. Offers well below $1.77 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 $7.01 (16), Italian $5.90 (59), English $5.82 (478). German fetches about 20 % more.

Last Sold 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.
