A PSA 10 currently sells for about $5,999, raw the card sits at $31.72 — 189,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $5,999 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 72 auctions the median was $28.19, across 209 fixed-price sales $34.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $19.17 and $41.85, with a median of $27.56. 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 $13.31. Offers well below $7.99 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: Italian $52.41 (18), English $31.41 (453). Italian fetches about 67 % 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.
