A PSA 10 currently sells for about $186.68, raw the card sits at $8.76 — 21.3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $186.68 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 89 auctions the median was $14.67, across 55 fixed-price sales $9.42. Auctions therefore fetched about 56 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $2.94 and $9.36, with a median of $5.89. 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 $2.05. Offers well below $1.23 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 $6.22 (63), German $2.51 (16). English fetches about 148 % more.

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.
