A PSA 10 currently sells for about $355.05, raw the card sits at $20.26 — 17,5× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $355.05 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 40 auctions the median was $16.52, across 81 fixed-price sales $17.66. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $7.96 and $16.54, with a median of $13.62. 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 $5.01. Offers well below $3.01 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.
