A PSA 10 currently sells for about $261.26, raw the card sits at $28.13 — 9,3× as much. Of 1.129 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $152.45 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 9 auctions the median was $11.98, across 45 fixed-price sales $19.69. Fixed price therefore fetched about 64 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $11.26 and $18.63, with a median of $14.38. 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 $9.54. Offers well below $5.72 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
