A PSA 10 currently sells for about $9,526, raw the card sits at $135.51 — 70,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $9,526 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.

Across 26 auctions the median was $92.86, across 70 fixed-price sales $86.44. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $34.67 and $98.45, with a median of $58.24. 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 $21.33. Offers well below $12.80 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 $90.29 (66), German $85.29 (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.
