A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,080, raw the card sits at $60.41 — 34.4× as much. Of 1.322 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $296.16 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 18 auctions the median was $61.71, across 42 fixed-price sales $68.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $49.29 and $69.10, with a median of $58.41. 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 $42.08. Offers well below $25.25 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.
