A PSA 10 currently sells for about $86.03, raw the card sits at $19.15 — 4,5× as much. Of 1.632 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $60.58 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 77 auctions the median was $14.48, across 215 fixed-price sales $18.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $15.00 and $19.59, with a median of $17.38. 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 $13.35. Offers well below $8.01 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 $17.34 (337), German $16.44 (15). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
