A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,041, raw the card sits at $228.17 — 30.9× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $7,041 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 97 auctions the median was $301.37, across 109 fixed-price sales $384.61. Fixed price therefore fetched about 28 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $167.65 and $294.81, with a median of $215.08. 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 $99.74. Offers well below $59.85 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.
