A PSA 10 currently sells for about $19,267, raw the card sits at $622.80 — 30,9× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $19,267 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 68 auctions the median was $364.77, across 67 fixed-price sales $425.03. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $70.58 and $262.70, with a median of $150.35. 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 $36.54. Offers well below $21.92 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 $149.42 (15), French $145.46 (11). 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.
