A PSA 10 currently sells for about $226.05, raw the card sits at $7.42 — 30,5× as much. Of 4.226 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $112.84 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 117 auctions the median was $5.89, across 638 fixed-price sales $7.73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 31 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.35 and $8.82, with a median of $7.36. 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 $5.04. Offers well below $3.02 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 $7.42 (802), German $7.30 (79), French $5.61 (20). English fetches about 66 % 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.
