A PSA 10 currently sells for about $45,320, raw the card sits at $1,923 — 23,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $45,320 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 317 auctions the median was $294.66, across 520 fixed-price sales $352.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $207.74 and $345.99, with a median of $275.27. 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 $151.72. Offers well below $91.03 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.
